Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA

I would like to throw this out to the group and just simply ask a question about what is happening with their distribution here in the US. This company has been around for awhile and has made some great strides recently to get back into the high end audio marketplace with some great products. However, I have heard that the US Distribution has changed, and leaves me to wonder what is this company's direction, where would I get something of their fixed here in the US and what is their future ?  Some of their stuff is not cheap but makes me wonder about there future here in the US and should I hold off considering buying their products. Responses would be appreciated.....

Luxman is here to stay with an excellent  dealer network. Unfortunately  previous importer with long waits, poor customer support and price inflation did a lot of bad. 
I am already a happy 900 series owner and the SE tube series. Could not be happier. 
Best regards

Have to say Luxman is some of the nicest built equipment around glad to hear they have sorted out the dealer network issues.

I was also less than thrilled with the previous distributor.  I am happy with my Luxman integrated though.
I look forward to lower prices and better distribution!

The prices for 2017 have dropped. For example, the C900u preamp was $20K and now $15K, same for the matching amp. I had the 2017 price list emailed to me from the new distributer, jeff.sigmund@luxmanamerica.com.  They are trying to have similar prices in all parts of the world.

I heard the C900u preamp (with Luxman monoblocks $60k) at the LA Audio Show in June 2017 at the previous Luxman distributer's room. It sounded awesome. My next amp and preamp will be the 900 series Luxmans.

Thank you gentleman and especially you yyzsantabarbara for an inside look at the current pricing. I live about 2 hours from Ballston Spa which is right outside of Saratoga, NY and an absolutely beautiful area in central / western NY. Real close to the race track.
