I think the answer may be that the new Mark III(3) is just coming out. I have just purchased a Classic One Mk III and it has a more extended top end and tigher mid and low bass than my previous Mk II version. Regardless of which version, I believe the Pathos Classic One is a fantastic integrated amp.
Pathos Classic One int.: So many for sale- Why ?
I am considering this integrated for purchase. At last count, there were 8 units for sale, BY FAR the greatest number of units of the same machine for sale on audiogon.
Is there something I should know about this machine ? Why so many for sale, including the apparently ''better'' MKII version? How is this affecting resale value? Why are these owners dumping them? Sure they must have sold many units of the Pathos, but they also sold probably 3 times as many Nait Nait 5's and Arcam A-85's, yet those machine remain relatively scarce on the used market. Comments anyone ?
I cannot get access to one for listening, as our local dealer dropped the line last year.
