These amps should be released in November. I don't have exact specs, but you can find anywhere from 2-5 channel amplifiers, and they are also coming out with subwoofer amplifiers. I think that they will be good if they live up to the Boston name. [Razz]

ok went and got the specs today for the amp i am getting....unfortunately they didnt have the specs for the other amps in the line but they do make a full range of amps and a number of channels. the reason they havent been released in the us as yet aparently is because they have been made in italy and they are wanting a big enough supply before they introduce them to the us market .....they started selling in some of the smaller countrys like NZ to see how popular they become and to gauge how much interest there is in teh market.....they have done so well they are expecting a release date in the us before the year is out. (this info from manager/distributer here in nz)
