I talked to my dealer this morning and he told me that Graff is officially closed. It is official. I used to own the Modena monoblocks OTL and loved them. Their site is still up though.
The Graaf factory has NOT closed down. I called the number in Italy this morning that is on their web site and spoke to someone about order a set of new tubes...
Rumour has it that Audio Analogue has come to the rescue. I am not aware of the full details but apparently AA will handle the management while G. Mariani (head designer of Graaf) will remain on board as a consultant. They are already planning to restart production of the current models and a new CD Player (a first for Graaf) is on the cards.
The models that will be re-introduced, at least originally, are the GM 13.5B and the GM70; no news on the Modena yet. You can find out more at the site of Graaf's Dutch importer: www.analogueaudio.com/graaf.htm (in dutch, but google translator should be useful).
