    Only briefly.

    First impression was: Lots of muscle but no brain.

    I've not seen one for sale in the US, although that appears to be the intent.

    Amp section appears to have potential ala the old Proceed line.
    If the rest is reasonable, that would be icing on the cake for a
    2ch system control/head.

    I am sure you saw this but just in case

    AC 220 – 240V/50Hz=power requirements
    Changing to Legacy Audio and started with a Silver Screen HD for my center between the 250TIs

    Nope. Good eye. They'd have to sort that out first

    Not many consumer amps I’ve seen with an XLR input on them.
    Nice build from the inside.

    If you want a straight forward 2 channel setup with balls, and if you are the type of person that might go after a Marantz 2235, Pioneer SX-1250 for that reason and pour $300 to $500 to make sure it's right, well this may be right up your alley. It has the MC & MM Phono inputs also. If it comes are way and you wait a year or 2 after it hits the US market it could be quite a steal.
