@david_ten I was referring to seperate Pre and amp due to release in November 2017.  IMO, the seperate sounds much better than Integrated, plus chassis finish is a step up as well.  The amp and pre retails for $6k and $4k respectively.

Check out upcoming Anthem STR amp and pre combo for $10K. Beautiful sound with exquisite build. The graphic display is to die for, lots of power to drive anything out there.

Just switched from McIntosh C2500/2600 to ARC Ref 6, initial thoughts

Great, I am happy for you. Not everyone possess the know how or inclination to build their own class A amps. However, I do hear that one can easily build a class D amps with available DIY kits (thanks to HYPEX).  Whether they sound as good as Clas...
