I'm not sure about differences between the old AudioPrism stuff and the new Red Rose/Levinson gear but cosmetics are pretty much the same. Of course prices have skyrocketed since Levinson bought the company.
Having heard the earlier Mana amps and Mantissa Linestage on numerous occasions and being totally unimpressed, I would suggest a serious audition before plunking my money down. Naturally, anyone owning or promoting Red Rose will say it's a different animal and much improved but I'd be skeptical. I'm guessing resale is not that good either.
