Counterpoint upgrades discontinued not all

I guess this marks the end of an era. Some of the coolest Elliot upgrades have been discontinued this month and I assume more will follow. Upgrades to the SA-9, SA-11 and the SA-4 have all gone the way of the Dodo bird.

I wonder how this will effect the market for non-upgraded units, upgraded units and Mike's new Aria products.

The good news is that I met someone who is giving up their fully upgraded SA-9 for the Aria WT after comparing both together. I don't know if the decision was based on finances, sound quality or convenience but still it's a good sign for the new Aria pre.
