does anyone have any knowledge of the present threshold amps? like the s/5000e or the reissue s/350e?

They are sold direct, they are lighter, don't double down or are made in China.

Threshold is now HQ'd in Houston, TX (if I remember correctly). CES2006 coverage in one of the emagazines is where I read the manuf in China bit.

Owning just about every Threshold amp ever made since 1978 the SA series are clearly the best sounding amps. I still own about 15 Threshold pieces. The Best sounding Threshold mono block amps are the Threshold SA/1's in Balance mode. SA/12e's are second best mono block amps. They give more power but not as sweet soundinga as the SA/1's in balance. The Best sounding Threshold Stereo amp is the SA/4e.
