for much more than I paid (I bought my during the great clearance sale last year), but less than the original list price.

Yes, I did get lucky. So far have been very happy with mine.

BTW, empeg is based in the UK, got bought by SonicBlue, decided they couldn't compete in mass production against Sony, Kenwood, etc -- last I heard the design team was still with SonicBlue, working on software & designs that SonicBlue would license to others.
