In terms of aesthetics and build quality... I find the pricing of the Arthur though maybe a bit on the high side, within acceptable range. I’d just rather not pay extra for something that I would rarely be seeing in my set up, and this particular model the power output wouldn’t fulfill my requirements. Frankly, as I get older everything seems more and more overpriced nowadays...my references being from a previous life... ; )
It’s a gorgeous little amp...And if the aesthetics were important to me...as opposed to the basic build of the Buckeye amps, I’d definitely give them a harder look. Different modules aside, I don’t see Buckeye/boXem audio as apples to apples comparisons. They are both well built, appear to have excellent support and communication, but ultimately serve different market niches.
So boXem, AKA Hans Solo...Nicely done!
