Looks like one amp has an optional grey/silver finish There also appears to be a VK-255 amplifier with a grey or silver top plate. I assume this is an update to VK-255...anybody else with any info?

Sdrenslow,

Thanks for the pics...it's hard to tell that those amps are "Rex" - no identifying marks.

Maril555 - how would you describe the sound of this system?

Thanks!

At CES the REX monoblocks were very transparent, fast, and linear top-to-bottom, with improved frequency extension and bass control. REX has none of the slowness and over-ripe plushness and toobie sweetness of the -SE version. I have heard Shashas in a half dozen systems-- they never sounded as good as with REX.

The chassis aesthetics are very similar to -SE except for better finished two-tone metal and St. Louis arched grip bar at the back.

Dgarretson described it very well- REX had a great control
over Sashas, very easy and relaxed presentation, not "tubey", great resolution and details. Very musical and engaging.
In another room Sasha were playing with Lamm M 2.1 monoblocks, and I liked BAT better

As a BAT owner, this is a bummer,sounds great but not great looking.Please Victor, can we leave Sputnik in the past and create a slick looking tube amp?? Rehash for 30k is just insulting.
