Zenon is the company that makes the popular motherboards like the IA's, Atomic, RD Audio, Cactus, Sundown and Adassa use. They change a few componants here and there to make them a bit less like each other, but its still pretty much the same deal.

Yeah, a clear cover isn't out of line, but you said something about making a FG case for them.... you would need a heat sink. I'm about to put a plexi top on my ZX, but I'm not removing the heatsink....

It's a nice thought.... but no.

No, they are made in Korea. I looked into USA manufacturing and it would double my build cost and, thusly, double end user cost. I don't see many folks paying $1200 MSRP for a 1500 watt amplifier, do you? Thing is... most of the parts would still come from Korea and/or elsewhere in Asia even if they were assembled here.

They are due the 25th... but I expect them more like the 9th of next month since stuff is always late!

are you sure they are TOTALLY made in korea, or the company is located in korea but their factory is in china? i know a lot of the korean companies say they cant compete with china, so they almost all have a factory set up there
