New SSP processor

[KRC]

Hey guys, there is talk of new Classe processors, SSP 700 and SSP 800 coming out in the spring. Is this rumour? If true will they remove the SSP 300 or keep it as the entry level? I am considering buying the SSP 300, but I would hate to buy a product that is going out of the line. I got caught with that when I bought my Arcam AV receiver and they updated there line right after to include componet video switching. Any official word.

The only thing that is official is the SSP-800. It is going to be an addition to the line in the $10,000.00 - $12,000.00 US range. The SSP-300 and SSP-600 are going to remain current. That can change at any time, but that is what is happening right now. The last time I talked to my rep it did sound the the SSP-300 will stick around the longest and the SSP-600 replacement (the SSP-700?) will follow the SSP-800 but a time table has not been laid out yet.
