So why would you want to compete on price?

Does Ferrari compete on price?
As the old saying goes - "Buy cheap, buy twice!"

Which is why I'm only on my third Sony TV in past 20 years and my third Sony Hi-Fi in the past 30+ years.

I have always been a believer in buying the best quality I can afford. Like most here I'm saddened by the thought of Sony cutting quality to try to compete with the likes of Amazon on price.

They should have continued the x50 line for those premium users who appreciate something a little better than the mainstream offerings.
