I'm more interested in the new Rega (higher than >> ) P10, whatever it will be called !
There is one coming apparently after P10 in the pecking order - way below Naiad price.Naiad?
They'll sell a total of two to Russian oligarch stepdaughters/wives, to be left collecting dust in numbered company owned houses in London as ornaments.
Regardless, New SME will subsequently find a way to describe all of their lower models as having somehow retroactively inherited strands of DNA from this soon to be regarded as highly successful über-deck.
I did think that this was fake news, but apparently not! Maybe it will appeal to overseas buyers with deep pockets, but to these eyes it looks rather boring and derivative. At least it does not look like it needs a fork lift truck for the installation!

Pure guess work on my part based upon niad being circa £30k?£15k Rega - interesting and I suspect quite different from a P10 in materials used.
Rumour has it that the plinth will be made from antimatter.Half as much (according to rumour).
The problem with previous offerings is that they were not expensive enough.Given how few 30's have ever sold I'm astonished they think there is any market at all for an even more expensive offering.
TBH the SME designs have never "floated my boat" sonically despite all the engineering. Tonearms in isolation similarly.
