I do not believe there will be a price increase. The goal is to increase manufacturing volume as well as getting special orders out faster.
The volume increase in available equipment plus shorter lead times should more than compensate for the added expenses.
What else is on the table: Solid state electronics are in the R&D schedule for the summer of 2012. My goal is to produce some stunning hybrids as well as 100% solid state amps and preamps. I started out my electronics career developing solid state electronics and set it aside for tube gear. Since I miss my designing SS amps & preamps, it's time to do it again! The last SS preamp made was in 1998.
