Option 1: you are overestimating our production volumes
Option 2: you are underestimating the size of a batch
Option 3: you are overestimating the patience of the average customer
Option 4: 1 + 2 + 3

You like square corners. I don't. Let's agree to disagree.
I don't think it's about the corners per se, i appreciate the rounded Mac Mini design or the NAD / March rounded corners.
Anyway i'm just giving some honest feedback why i'm on the fence about the boXem. It seems to be great in a technical sense and the company seems very sympathetic as well, so i hope you don't take it as an insult.

It depends on the size of the increase. There is some elasticity, customers deciding solely on price would go to audiophonics anyway.
Maybe there is a market for optional colours? For example charge 50-100 euro for a custom, one-off color.

I do not take it as an insult, no worries.
More generally, most people seem to be very polite and always say nice things. Suggestions of improvement are gladly welcomed.
Doesn't mean I will agree with them. In example there are several things I could do that would allow me to be both more competitive in price and increase margins but they are not in phase with what I am. So I don't do them. It's my baby. It's my decisions.

Absolutely, it's your money on the line, not ours. Until we actually pay up you will never know for sure what works. I liked the general idea of kickstarter to gauge demand: people pay for a product, but if there's not enough demand nothing gets build and the money is returned. Maybe you could run an "all black super special edition of 10" this way.
How much price increase are you thinking? My preference/vote is for a black case of the same shade/finish as the existing black faceplate. In my opinion, it would become your most popular option. I prefer to listen in dim lighting and like the equipment to disappear visually. I like the trend toward matte finishes - particularly black. Including speakers.

Multichannel will come next year. Concerning the warranty it's 2 years.
Thank you looking forward to seeing what you release next year!
how many channels?
I have read from different manufacturers over the years that black always sells more. Most specially so for multichannel amps in home theater dark rooms.

Yes, it's late
Depends what you call multichannel.
If it's something with all the homecinema niceties, that's a "no".
If it's an analog volume control for x channels, the answer is "not now".
If it's something else, my ears are open.
And what about real HT bypass capabilities?Yes, it's late

Balls to multi-channel ( 
)... but an amp with sub out and some phat VU meters would be great... maybe even a by-passable treble/bass control?

If 'real HT bypass' is 'all the crap out of the HT processor reaches the amplifier', I do not think so.
Here is more discussing about an integrated. This is something I am completely reconsidering now, taking into account how well have been received the various power amps we put on the market up to now.Balls to multi-channel (

That exactly.
