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.

Since it's a fairly entry level item I suspect that many people buy one, love it, andn then feel the need to upgrade. Since it's probably sold in fairly large quantities there are relatively many for sale. Pretty simple, really.
Kops, would you please elaborate on your statement as I'm thinking of buying one.
For less money, this is a far better amplifier than the Pathos IMO, no matter what genre of music you prefer.
S7horton and Kops,
What tube hybrid integrateds did you do an A/B comparison in your system to the Classic One or MkII?
