Which is certainly what it is. I gained nothing from this infomercial. I own the product but what I saw was a let down.

ARC is one of the top tier in the world! American made and as a long time fan I'm not all that thrilled about the direction they've taken. For those just getting started in this Hobby they've priced themselves out of he market. If I"m not mistaken their cheapest Amp in 9 thousand dollars.

The foundation series is 7500. I am pretty sure there are cheaper models too.

Actually maybe the vt80 is 8k after all. But I thought they had lower priced models.
