To me, the word "commodity" means it's so simple anyone can do it 
well and do it inexpensively. If you really believe high power amps 
are a commodity, I invite you to design one, get the bugs out of 
the design, put it in production, and get the manufacturing bugs 
out if it, then sell it for price that allows you to support it and 
stay in business. 

If at the end of that process and a few years in business you still 
think it's a commodity, I'll buy you a case of your favorite 
beverage. It's like I taught my kids -- the other guy's job always 
looks easier.
