I'm sure it will sound good but it is a shame that the design team want to move away from what was a popular and recognisable easily integrated ARC look ,where it was clear that the money had gone into the components rather than the housing- This looks more like VTL than Audio Research.
Also with 4 buttons on the front it doesn't look as though it has incorporated auto bias |

I was informed it would have better bass, resolution and auto biasing, a new circuit board than GS 150; is this not true?

I assume, like the VT80, will not only have auto bias but will rely on fuses rather than resistors.

I hope it has auto bias but if the buttons on the front are not for selecting valves to bias what purpose do they serve ?
