Why does Cary Audio keep discontinuing good amps?


Is this to keep us buying from them? Why not upgrade good designs?

Seems like the new Cary is hanging on to the tried and true Classics, but emphasizing the HT.
"I understand planned obsolescence, but look at companies like Audio Research."

Arn't they the "leader of the pack" for this kind of thing?
I mean, how many preamp models have they done in the last 25 years, AND is there a point where they could have just stopped and still had an outstanding or maybe even better product - like the LS5- before departing into the "REF" series?
