Kind of confusing they name it Master9 if it´s a replacement for Master19 which it seems. Can´t say I ever figured Audio GDs model numbers out. At least it cost a bit more then the Master19 otherwise I would surely get a bit buyers remorse. I love the idea of plexi but it certainly doesn´t aid cooling how are they fixing that?You are right. They are very similar. The chassis is fancier on the Master-9 mkiii and the layout is not quite the same. Surface mount is used in the gain stage in the mkiii.
It could replace the M19 eventually. The HE9LE or HE9 is the way to go for a clear upgrade. What is appealing however is how good the mkiii looks and the fact that it is even more compact than the M19.
