Can Ref. 8B be upgrade?
« on: 6 May 2007, 08:53 am »
Hello every expert,
  I purchase a pair of ref. 8b a week, I agree their performance to drive my speaker - ATC SCM7.  I study from NU FORCE web, ref. 8.5 & 9 can upgrade.  Does ref 8b can be upgrade? How much? How about the price and power output?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION! 
WISH ALL OF YOU HAPPY LISTENING

Ref 8b has been discontinued but it is very likely that it can be upgraded to V2 (we have to confirm the fitting of the heat sink). Please contact support directly and tell us where you are located.
We won't have enough boards to upgrade Ref 8b until June.

We have a trade in program for Ref 8/8b to Ref 8.5 V2.
If you're considering upgradeing Ref 8b to V2 AND also increase the power to 200W, the cost of doing that is the same as trade in to Ref 8.5 V2.  Unless you love the small size of Ref 8b, I would suggest going for the trade in which allows you have future upgrade path.
