It should be reasonably cheap I suppose. Seeing how it's based on the M3 design.

True, anyway I think it is about 300.

Wow. I was thinking around 150. 200 being the max. The M3 was designed to be a wonderful sounding amp which doesn't cost a bomb. Anything in the $300 price range would be outrageously overpriced IMHO.

Where did you read that it is based on the m3 other than the name of the amp?
Seriously, the m3 is a DIY desktop amplifier, and parts for it run for the 150-200 you're talking about. Also taking into account the prices ALO charges for its other products I can't see this amp costing less than 300$( I'm not arguing about the prices being high or low, just making a comparison)

I'm just assuming it's based on the same design as the mini3. Lol.
