Any news???

Kawika, What is the "new technology"?

That's a great question because no one so far has been able to give me a real answer. It's supposed to be "improved" but no one seems to be able to explicitly indicate what actually changed internally from the 581se.

A careful review of the specs has revealed something interesting. The new technology in the 781 weighs 2 lbs more than the old technology in the 581. So there you have it. In terms of advanced circuitry and the like, much can be done within the confines of an additional 2 pounds.

The 781 is clearly more involving than the 581, at least in regards to carrying it.

However, the weight in kilograms does not differ between the 581 and 781. So perhaps they are only using the new technology in units destined for the US. I personally find this to be unfair. Perhaps it has something to do with an allowable import weight and VAT.

I'm sure Wadia will provide an update on their website within the next 3-5 years.

Is there anyone who actually has heard the 781, and can come with their experience?

Thinking of upgrading my 581se.
