I think Melos amplifiers have been discontinued for a long time..?

Thats what I thought... Are they making any new one? Is there any link to the manufacture as well.
Or would I ask, is there any other amps that coming close to Melos that still in production. Price range USD 500-600

I think we have to watch the used market. They are getting older. Does anyone service and upgrade these units?

I think they've been discontinued for like, 10 years or something. Check Audiogon or your local craigslist as I've seen a could go up for sale.

do you know who is the manufacture of it? can not find any link for more info or something.

Melos has been out of business since the late 90's. Quality control fell apart on the units released shortly before the company's demise. Melos Audio Restorations used to provide service to Melos units, including bringing the later units up to their original specifications, but they no longer exist.

Several years ago a Head-Fi member worked out some significant upgrades to the Melos units, but he has disappeared.

I'm not aware of anyone servicing the units right now.

I always thought Melos was the manufacturer. =T

I see used ones all the time on audiogon. I was thinking of getting one myself one day.
