E-560 was 8900,- euro when I bought it 3 years ago, the 10850,- was a steep increase last year.

Now retail price is 10 490 euro. I know they made a big price increase 2 years ago and since they've dropped back a little bit. They review the prices twice a year so we should have the new price list pretty soon (resellers already have it but it's not applicable yet).

In Holland it was 10850,- for the E-560 end of last year, for the new E-600 I will get a bill for 9950,-.

I too was expecting the A-65 to be replaced later this year or the beginning of the next year. So I am a bit surprised to see pics of the A-70, especially since I've bought my A-65 8 month ago.

I have always thought the P-7100 is older than the A-65 and therefore will be the first one to be replaced. How old is the P-7100 anyway?

Imprezap2, I remember paying almost 8K for my E-550 6 years ago (or so). Since then the Accuphase prices only went up (roughly 10% per year). Thus, hearing that Accuphase (or hifine in our case) lowered the prices seems unreal!

Same here. I couldn't believe what I was seeing at first. Again, I wonder when it starts shipping.

Around munchen high end (middle of may)

Ok, cool. Thank you for the info!

I don't see it yet on the Accuphase sites (English and Japanese,) but I imagine it will be sooner or later...

They often ship the products before they put it on the website.
