Opinions on Viola Audio Labs


I am looking for some thoughts and opinions on this brand. I already know that there is a website (www.violalabs.com) and that the designers are Tom Colangelo and Paul Jayson (ex Mark Levinson and Cello), but I didn't find reviews or comments over the internet about the products. Does someone know more ?

Did they still have the super shiny/fingerprint prone finish.

No more. Brushed aluminium (or iron) panels now.
As I can tell I have seen them advertised in Japanese audio mags (except i don't speak japanese). I wonder that they aren't being marketed there.

I wonder that they aren't being marketed there.
Sure they are available in the Far East and also in some European Countries. BTW, they just attended the Tokyo show. I also heard that other USA dealers will be appointed soon.
Their web site shows Ears Nova in New York is a Viola dealer (phone 1-212-288 2855) and the contact perason is Joshua Cohn ( www.earsnova.com). It says "for all other dealers, please call Viola Audio Labs". Based on the above responses, it seems they have very limited distribution and I suggest you contact Viola Audio Labs direct for more info BEFORE you buy any product (new or used).
