There's a good likelyhood that they will never be available in the US as many of their high-end products are for far-east or european markets only. I saw some amps that looked like the MA-9s1 on some website (something about designing the ultimate listening room, don't remember which) except they had 8 or so tubes protruding from the top of the chassis! They really looked like Model 9s from the future, very cool!
Marantz
Is Marantz back into high end audio? Did they ever leave?
This past weekend I was able to see a SA-1 for the first time, this is a beautiful piece. In the current issue of S-phile Marantz has an ad advertising the "first true replacements for the legendary model 7 and model 9"; they are called SC-7s1 and MA-9s1, these too are beautiful looking pieces. It appears they are not available in the US, yet.

Anyone heard these two, or the other products on this web link?
