Pathos Classic One int.: So many for sale- Why ?


I am considering this integrated for purchase. At last count, there were 8 units for sale, BY FAR the greatest number of units of the same machine for sale on audiogon.

Is there something I should know about this machine ? Why so many for sale, including the apparently ''better'' MKII version? How is this affecting resale value? Why are these owners dumping them? Sure they must have sold many units of the Pathos, but they also sold probably 3 times as many Nait Nait 5's and Arcam A-85's, yet those machine remain relatively scarce on the used market. Comments anyone ?

I cannot get access to one for listening, as our local dealer dropped the line last year.

my point does not have anything to do with Pathos degradation, I like btw Logos and inpol2 , and for some weeks I had Incontrol preamp. Pathos classic one for 2500$ it;s a shame to buy it IMHO. You could also see in this price range Manley stingray, used Cary sli80, CAV (the european previous dk design model which is sold in europe around 1500$), Croft (hybrid integrated don't remember the model, many times better) and so on.......
but for 700$-850$ and very easy speakers classic one maybe good choice.IMHO.
