The 275's morphed into the ART amplifiers. The design is very similar with minor upgrades from the ART to the LP275.

As the folks at C-J will tell you... monos are just better sounding than stereo amps. It's not only the output transformers, it's the inevitable cross talk on a single chassis and most important, two channels pulling on the single power supply at the same time. Bet you can but LP140s and 275s on AG from certain C-J dealers factory refurbed with new warranties.
Enjoy... |

Basically the only difference between the ART and 275 is the driver section where cj using the 6H30 was able to lower the stage's impedance. That reduces the amp's noise floor, etc. Otherwise the amps are identical.

Can a LP275 be upgraded to the ART driver stage? I must admit, the ART chassis is just so much classier looking - almost timeless beauty |

FWIW, Jeff Dorgay mentioned to me in Sept 2010 from a conversation he had with Lew Johnson that C-J was being told that they were not pricing their SOTA/statement products high enough compared to their competition. They were being seen as not being as good (high end?) or as valued as their competition because they were not priced comparably to their competiition. I don't know who it was that was telling C-J to increase the prices of their statement products, though.
As a photographer, I know that you have to price your photographs at a certain level for your customers to perceive the value in them; in other words, if you give your photos away for free. your customers see them as valueless because they don't cost anything.
