Hmm, I didn't hear that. Since there aren't any beta testers, I don't 
believe it either.

What Eric said was that they simply don't have the resources to produce 
the amplifiers and keep up with the demand for K3's, so the amplifier 
will be delayed.

I've seen a prototype, and it's very nice, although they will not be cheap.
