I believe the G series would come under the heading of audio jewelry, a segment opened by Dan D'agostino. The visual/mechanical design of the G series was designed by Italian designers. The circuits were designed at ARC. I'm sure this was a marketing decision. The products were designed for those who not only can afford it, but where the W.A.F. (wife acceptance factor) of the current line of products are visually unacceptable. Think interior designer. The G series is a compliment to the current ARC product line. That's all there is to it.
Heads-Up: ARC introducing new G Series
Just picked up a news blip that ARC is introducing 3 new product offerings in its new G Series. The products are highly stylized in a "new" retro look. In addition, the amps use the new KT-150 power tube. Pricing is higher than ARC's current Reference linestage and amp equivalents.
