Really doesn't like the look and I prefer the usual ARC style. It is a definitively a big NO for me, no matter the sound.

My dealer has indicated that he is supposed to have some of the newer units in his showroom towards the end of this month.
The new design doesn't do much for me. That could change after seeing them in person. Either way they aren't targeting me anyhow.. |

I'm of the opinion that this series is a trial balloon and will not be available for an extended period based on relatively low demand. This was likely a good idea on paper, a nostalgic look to the past, but in reality the awkward price/performance ratio will likely prove unsurmountable by the esthetic of the components.

For the GSi75 (preamp+amp+DAC) at about $19,000 and if the sound quality is there... it could even be a bargain! Bertrand |
