Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!!


Hello All,

Received an email from Billie yesterday to pre-order the new MK3.  Yikes!! Was not expecting the amp to be priced over 40% higher than the MK2.  I was interested in the Spartan with no DAC/digital ins or Bluetooth.  Heck, they want $2800.00 just for that.  Very disappointed.  Not ready to spend that much.

Comments?

I have signed up and waited for an email with the price. Even emailed them and I was told by Itai that I would receive the price this week.

I haven’t received anything. In the age of barfing meme crypto whatever virtual billions, I can’t say what’s a lot vs a little. But it sure isn’t comparable with MkII, at nearly twice as much. I had been super interested but at that price point, I am good. Quad, Sugden, Simaudio, Vincent Audio, Primare, Hegel, Creek, Bryston, Hegel are better value.

I do think though that the Billie is a unique product, with smart engineering and quality parts and slick marketing. If I could walk into any store in a 100 mile radius, I would sure drive/take the train to hear it.

when an amp is tube, are all expectations for any aesthetics out the window? Or the laws of aesthetics cease? I am curious, I am kind of a design nerd and always found it odd. There are exceptions like the always stunning Luxman so I am not sure
