Anyone have experience with the new Acurus gear?

I just caught some link that brought me to revived Acurus / Aragon websites. Looks like there is a new Act 4 under the Acurus branding too?
As a former owner of the old Acurus Act 3 - which the best piece for the money back when (as well as a couple of their amps) I see no reviews or hear anyone talking about the new gear, and am curious.
Also, looks like you can buy Acurus from, like, 3 different dealers?
Just want to hear some feedback for the stuff. Anyone?

I don't see much about these products. I wonder if these are preproduction pieces on there web and not available yet? For example, the info on their Act 4 has pretty generic specs. Unless they get good distribution prices may be too high for their value. But, I hope this company re-emerges.

I just got an email from Rick Santiago(cofounder Indy Audio Labs) about an Acurus "trade up" program which they are promoting until March 30. 30% trade in value of older amp towards a new Acurus amp. I own an A250 and a 200FIVE and may just consider the offer.

Here is an Audiogon ad for the new 2-channel Acurus amp.

Apparently the Act 4 is not out yet. I don't see how a few amps in their line is gunna make heaps of sales (i'm sure the custom market is full of amps for custom integrators to sell). So good luck to them on that.
I will, however, wait to see on the processor. Maybe someone will get in on a review? ...and how it would compare to some budget offering, like what Emotiva is offering in the UmC-1?
