Dev, you are very misinformed. You would not have been able to purchase a 'beta' unit. The design is complete, and as such no upgrades are planned nor will be needed. The AMR components are just becoming available, and any units purchased prior to... 
AMR CD-77
The updates are to these pre-production units ('beta' versions) which were built late last year, to bring them up to date with the production units. The updates are related to the OptiMains unit and a couple of other small items. The production un...

The CD-77 and AM-77 have been here since last Wednesday. They will be updated this weekend by Thorsten Loesch and will be back here next week in time for an open house May 12th. As for the sound, it speaks for itself.

Hi Steve: Darren at Avatar Acoustics kindly offered to ship one of their fully broken in demo units here for my open house on Saturday the 28th. AMR anticipates shipping the first production run this month, now that they have the correct capacitor...
