Anyone ready to jump on a new one? A Georgia dealer just posted one on Audiogon in silver, new in the box for $6995. Pretty great deal especially when there is no sales tax involved. Just a heads up.

Yes. Just saw that. Looks like a good deal from an authorized dealer.

How does an "authorized dealer" sell anywhere in the USA over the internet???

Hence why the high end audio dealer is dead and I am sure if ARC knew about it would be pissed!!

Good question. I assumed it was not an authorized dealer, though I didn't look into it.

They are not listed as a dealer on the ARC site. I wonder how they got two of them.

Ideal Acoustics has been an authorized dealer for many years. I know from personal experience Steve works very closely with ARC.

Well then I guess they screwed up. I can't imagine ARC is going to be happy their stuff is being peddled at big time discounts on Audigon infringing on agreed territories of their dealer networks.

They are a "Franchise Dealer" for ARC and other brands. Not sure how that differs from regular dealer status... Somebody needs to move quickly though. Great buy!

Sadly Steve decided to close his store last fall after a prolonged illness and these are his last pieces. Ideal Acoustics was taken off the web site months ago for this reason. Hope this helps.

I assume in that case the warranty would be honored.
Huge opportunity for somebody. If it was black I would grab it just to give a Ref 75 a try!
Both available are silver only - I asked...
