I think Stax will do it, but they've been slow to announce (and in fact haven't announced) anything about an Omega III (or whatever their next flagship product might be called). Their normal product development life cycle would suggest that another top model should at least by now be on the planning horizon, but no word yet. Chances are that when it does come along, the changes relative to the Omega and Omega II will be incremental and not revolutionary in any way. Some people already prefer the Omega II to the HE-90, so I'd very much doubt that Stax would completely revamp their approach.
