Has anyone heard these new versions of the Auditors. The price has risen relatively substantially and I was curious if anyone could compare them to the previous models to see if there was some justification. I would welcome a Sumiko/Sonus response as well.
Follow Ups:
At well over $7k with their required stands, even the SF dealer I spoke with said that the price increase is not justified in his opinion compared to the original Auditors. It is indeed all about the declining dollar. Other Italian products like Pathos and Unison amps similarly have gone through the roof! Buying American made makes more sense than ever.

Well maybe but you certainly won't get the style, the looks etc.
I am prepared to pay for that!
According to a recent Hifi+ review, they are much less colored than the previous generation, better all around speakers, still sweet but not syrupy. The reviewer loved them. Price increase, as mentionned, is probably due to dollar rate.
Have never heard them so can't comment. Hope that helps anyway.

Simple as that.
The Bush administration has decimated the dollar. The chart above is the actual trading over the past eight years (called the dollar index). It has lost somewhere around 40% affecting all international sales to Americans.
Notice, before Bush is Clinton’s administration and a strong dollar. (chart)
Americans should wake up about this, it’s a huge hidden tax on all US citizens and dollar holders.
Got to hand it to those conservatives, they really know how to run an economy.
Yeah, yeah, George Bush is the antichrist and Hillary Clinton is the saviour of the free world......
Be careful what you wish for.....

for propaganda, left or right. Keep it to loudspeakers and related topics... please.
Just thought it of interest to others why audio equipment made outside or inside the USA is going up in $$... This was not a left right issue to me, heck I'm a republican! :~) Thanks.
Jawohl!
