what happened to Cary 500MB?

I came across a review from '05 of the Cary 500 mono blocks, and they thought they were outstanding!! So I researched some more, these are supposed to be amazing for SS, everyone's stoked and then, by mid'06 - nothing. Nary a mention. Can't find any used ones.
Still on Cary's website, though.
What happened? Maybe no one knows (like where the Federal Reserve has been lending money - sorry - I digress) - or did they "fall out of favor"? Although I didn't come across anything negative about them??

Sold mine last week, and now crying like a baby. You always think the grass is greener with another product, I will end up buying one again.

My last amp cost triple the 500 mb. My next amp probably will as well. No plans to try anything else for quite a while.

This is an old thread, but I wonder how the 500MB stack up to the Spectron.

I liked these much better than the Spectrons that I had, but that's with my Magnepans, and amps are so speaker related, I can't say how they would be with other speakers.

my vote is for the Cary also. I sold the Cary last year and bought a Spectron. The spectron did not work out and ended up buying another Cary.
