If you don't find anything via Google and their website, I'm afraid you're SOL. Are they supposed to be released in the states?Richard? Who's your favorite Little Rascal? Alfalfa? Or is it........................Spanky?.................................Sinner.

I will be looking to snag one of the 990's in a couple years for my bedroom. Looks like an awesome piece of equipment. If it's an upgrade from my HK3480 (appears to be a huge upgrade), and it sells for way below retail like other HK receivers, I'm all over it.Stereo Rig: Hales Revelation 3, Musical Fidelity CD-Pre 24, Forte Model 3 amp, Lexicon RT-10 SACD, MMF-5 w/speedbox, Forte Model 2 Phono Pre, Cardas Crosslink, APC H15, URC MX-950, Lovan Stand

The 990 is balanced. Wow, nice. Takes USB input as well, which is nice for computer-audio folks. Good to see a mainstream manufacturer with a renewed push in 2-channel!Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

That link is for the 3490 model, a step down from the big 990 model discussed above. The 3490 is basically the same as last year's 3480For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -
Why do I think the integrated amp, tuner, and the dedicated CD player will not be marketed in the US?
