It's a connoisseur mono-block set for sure. Considering there are 16 of those 300B beasts that go into a pair and the 300B is the the highest powered class A triode power tube ever developed, to some it is the holy grail of tube amps. 80 watts is actually more than most need since these will be paired with appropriate speakers. I get by with a lot less with not very efficient speakers.
Sure, the $61k per pair is very steep but in high end audio anything goes. The $3-5k price you suggested would not even be possible in China since there are over $12k of 300B alone in the monoblock pair...
