Pass Labs Preamps - New Line Soon?

The Pass Labs XP-10, XP-20 and XP-30 have been out for several years now (since 2009ish).  The just came out with a new top-of-the-line pre, the Xs, with an MSRP of $38K.  

Any thoughts on when they may come out with more "affordable" upgrades to the XP Line?  It seems like it should be about time.

Ben-

having heard the XP-10 & XP-20, I cannot imagine a better SS pre-amp!

I would be interested in learning more about Pass Labs integrated amps.
IME, this is SS nirvana! Also, outstanding customer service.

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

CES is just around the corner, so you should have news soon, if there is any news.

jmc, good point.  

jafant, no matter how good a component is, they always find ways to make it better.  :)  Just look at Audio Research - Ref 6 is now out.  (I currently own the Ref 5 se and am considering a PL pre to go with my XA-100.5 monoblocks.)  

I agree, I would not mind simplifying the system and going to a PL integrated.  They just came out with a couple of new models (INT-60 and INT-250) that, "take advantage of the point 8 amps."  Might be worth a look.
