It's all taking a bit 'O time to put together, but it's coming along. No audio design changes were made, so the most recent review still holds. Folks have been very suggestive regarding aesthetics and I am trying to comply. Gen II will have a price increase to accommodate the new cosmetic features, but it will not be a shell shocker. Our tour model will not reflect the price increase.
Other news: A Beacon Three and Four are coming out very soon. Four is going to hold several surprise features and is going to be the MOST configurable preamp on the market. You are not going to believe what the ordered unit is capable of...it's a surprise until photos are available. As you can see, there are allot of irons in the fire.
