Cheaper if you add all your expenses ? (Seeming is utopy, calculation on real offers is reality.)

I have to drive a lot anyway.
My speakers are from a French dealer (and I sold my previous pair to a Danish audiophile who came to pick them up), and my SACD player is from Belgium. Today I listened in detail to some Accuphase amps in ... Germany.
Europe is small!
And as this is the E-480 page:
It seems that this machine will be a very huge step forward in comparison with the E-470.
The E-470 had no chance against a the E-650 today, that is a fantastic machine (and far better than the E-600).
It is amazing how the engineers from Accuphase are able to progress.
