I posted that Soundstream was going to introduce a new Rubicon line real soon a few months ago. I was told they were coming out right after the new Reference line. Well that was false, because the Reference line is still not out, and I just seen this http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=20400 thoughts? You can do a search on there to find the other models.

Sweet. Looks like they're coming back. Now, if the quality is anything like the Van Gogh series, or better, they'd definately have a winner.

The 2 and multi channel amps are class A/B!

These are the same amps as the Euro Little Wonder III amps FYI

The "new" reference line has been out for a while but it costs an arm and a leg on ebay due to the fact that it was released overseas first.

Eta: Click HERE for a complete overpriced system!

That was the first inception of the "New" line. It was released over seas to see how it did. They were not happy with it and stopped making them. I was told the THD was a little higher than they wanted. They are working on a new design now.

Also, the reference line will not be cheep. But you get what you pay for.

Technically, the reference line never was cheap! The old ones were beasts though. I recall SS having major issues with the Reference S and SX series for those who ran them in high current mode. The first gen Rubicons after the Reference series were actually better built amps, but by then SS had ruined their reputation with their customer base.

Regardless, it is time for a fresh start and hopefully they continue with the tradition of overbuilding the output stage!
