Who will buy Astra

[mdconnelly]

I suspect the Astra could appeal to a luxury crowd who may not be audiophiles but appreciate high-quality sound when delivered with a high bling factor (which, in truth, so did the Expert & Expert Pro). The difference (or perhaps just my rationalization) is that the Expert line was unique in its engineering & design and stood out in the marketplace well beyond the competition. That's just not true anymore.
