New SS Integrated from ARC DSi200 ...

...MSRP at $5,995. Has anybody heard this yet? Interested to hear from existing ARC amp owners who might have switched over to this new SS amp from ARC. Here's a link with an overview of the new amp from arcdb: http://www.arcdb.ws/DSI200/DSI200.html

Hifi News' March 2010 edition just gave the DSi200 a very positive review.

Just heard one tonight, quite wonderful, and it's not even broke in yet. I expect great things from it. Even has a mono switch! And for all you constant whiners about heat/amps, this is babyfingers cool to the touch.

Hello,

Any other real world- experiences with this amp?

I'm wondering how it would compare to the 50W ARC VSI-60 integrated Valve amp, more specific concerning how those two differ in sound? Esp. when powering moderate sensitive speakers in the 88-90 db-range.

Anyone?

Thanks

Many people thought the Sophia IIIs, driven by the DSi200, were some of the best sound of the show when Wilson´s Peter McGrath demoed the new speakers in Gothenburg, Sweden last weekend.
