Why? If someone gets more enjoyment out of their $1500 amp than others do from the $4k amp, great for them.

Here we go, the everyone gets a trophy crew. Fu homo, this ain't the TGP. You go regulate everyone's feelings there but here it ain't gonna happen.

Well I've broke $5 grand twice. For the most part I seem to be between $3 & $4 grand range.

The relative risk or risk ratio is the ratio of the probability of an outcome in an exposed group to the probability of an outcome in an unexposed group. It is computed as, where is the incidence in the exposed group, and is the incidence in the unexposed group, and still sucks to be you, in that group

What the fuck are you talking about? No one said anything about a fucking trophy. I basically said price doesn't validate gear. Also, some people don't need internet forums to approve of their gear choices to be happy either. Exactly, this isn't TGP. Go fuck yourself.

LOL I bought my SLO rackmount for $1500 in 2005. I also bought a 2203 half-stack for $300 in 1992. It was my first "real" amp.

For me I would rather have 4 $1000 amps that I got used than 1 $4k amp bought new. I just found that I like variety. I see some with a bunch of high dollar amps, good for them, that is where there tone chasing has taken them. Mine the ~$1000 or so used has given me what I want.
I will say the used amp market seems very soft. Especially big amps are hard to move. I think this is due to many reasons, but lots of good deals to be had, that is if the people are willing to deal on these amps. There a bunch of things I own that I would sell, but they are worth more to me than they are on the market.
As for Friedman I have tried a BE100 and DS and I liked both, but neither made me want to buy one, even if they were $1000. When I tried out the DS, I enjoyed the Orange OR15 sitting next to it much more.

The tone/price ratio is in the eye/ear of the beholder. 
That's the bottom line. Not sure why it has to be such an argument.
If the tone you are after costs you $4,000 and you have the disposable income for it - then great.
I played through my Splawn, Recto and Vypyr last night in stereo (like I often do) and was super happy with my tone. $1,400 + $495 + $315 = $2,210. Articulateness of the Splawn + juiciness of Recto + added thump of the Vypyr (in the fireplace) = happiness.
That doesn't 'suck for me' - that works for me.

My VHT SigX cost me £750, my Diezel D-Moll £1000, VH4 £1280, and my Orange Rockerverb MKIII cost me £1600. But that's over several years, and cycling various amps and pedals to pay for them. Not rich by any means but godamn I love amps!!
The only one I bought new is the Orange. Although I did buy my 1st SigX brand new too, that was £1600 at the time too.
With these four amps I really don't need any more I don't think!
