Will these new amps continue with MSB's industrial design used on their previous amps?
Jim,
No, they will have an entirely new industrial design. A very stylish looking rectangular box.
Ken
No more Class A...interesting.
Keith,
The MSB M204 monoblocks also have a Class A Input Stage and a Class A/B Output Stage, so this is not a change. The key question would be how many watts each amplifier operates in Class A. I don’t have the answer to this question yet.

This is the only picture I could find.

I like the looks, although the lack of cooling surface means it will work in much lesser degree in Class A (I reckon 10W is max what can be dessipated) than their previous designs. Which, of course, doesn't mean much as it still may sound better.
I'm affraid the redesign will jack up the price considerably - I'm affraid the monos will be in $60k range. This is sth MSB has been doing in the recent years. Not many of you remember, but M202 used to cost $18k, then when M203 come out (with minimal changes), the price went up +50%, to $28k, then again to $40k or so with M204. So the next stop is probably $60k+ ... which is sad.
LOL, doesn’t even remotely resemble D’Agostino.

the circular VU meter looks similar.
