over priced kit
Just noticed an ad in PFM for TQ Claymore integrated amp, look nothing special and yet the retail price was £3,600,
there are over priced kit around but that TQ amp takes the biscuit,even at the sale price of £1,500, i'd till think it's dear if it was original retail,
that makes NVA kit the biggest bargain around.
Can anyone think of any kit out there as poor VFM as the above mentioned?.

Re: over priced kit
It's probably a tarted up Inca Tech Claymore which you can pick up for under £200.

Stuart Smith thinks the £3760 TQ Claymore amp "offers good value for money".
