Review - ATI AT3000
The
200-MPH Amplifier

With 2,100 watts of power and an elite circuit design, ATI's
AT3000 is the audio equivalent of an extreme sports car..
Any product can be refined; the question is, do the refinements substantially
improve the product? In some cases—increasing a car’s horsepower,
for example—the answer is usually “yes.” In others—such
as substituting filet mignon for cubed chuck in a pot of chili—the
answer is, unequivocally, “no.” With audio amplifiers, however,
the answers are seldom so cut-and-dried.

Why is it so much harder to sell the concept of value to people as they
cross over into the higher end of the A/V realm? In the lower price
ranges, people don’t only appreciate value, they actively seek
it out. Down there, people whole-heartedly buy into the idea that you
can often find equivalent performance, features, etc., for less. But,
as price tags get bigger, some people’s rationality seems to fade.
