new Classe Delta line

Hello everyone. I saw the new Delta series at the Montreal HiFI show this year, and most of them had prices on them. In general, prices have shot up by about 50-100% depending on the product. I personally don't like the look of them that much; I thought I would, but after seing them in person, I don't like them as much as the last series. It's actually kind of hard to tell some of the components apart from one another; they all look very similar in styling. They are trying to price themselves in the same league as Levinson and Krell, to increase profits, I would imagine.
Some of the new prices I noticed:

-new basic surround pre(NO balanced outs/ins) was $6500CAN,
about a $2000-2500 increase.
-new monoblock 400watt(I think) had a sticker saying
$11000CAN. It did not indicate that was for the pair.
-The next up-up surround preamp was $9000, up from the SSP-60 price of about $6500 here in Canada.

Other prices were all increased much the same. Some, like the top end surround pre had prices to be determined. I don't remember the exact prices, but their new universal transport and cd player were all very expensive as well.
I was disappointed. I've seen pics of the inside of one of their new amps(?ca-2100)-not very impressive for the price.
I think we can say good-bye to Classe as we once new it.
