I was considering the purchase of an AN1x, but then I noticed it was being discontinued, with remaining units being blown out at discounts.

I figured that OK, a new unit is coming out
(AN2x maybe?), so I waited for the 99 Winter
NAMM show and there's no AN1x replacement, just a new CS1x (the CS2x).

What happened? It seemed to me the AN1x was selling well, and certainly had a price advantage over it's competition
(e.g. JP-8000).

A salesman at a store told me they had a lot of problems and bugs, but I think he was just down on Yamaha stuff.

Did I miss something, is the AN1x a dog or something, were they unreliable?

I'm still thinking about buying a leftover, or maybe a used one if Yamaha doesn't want to come out with a new version.

Thanks,
