Actually Acurus is no more. Klipsch bought out Aragon and Acurus and discontinued the Acurus name but apparantly rebranded many of the former Acurus amps in their lower line Aragon stuff. As for Nad and Acurus being sister companies, I don't believe that is true since Acurus was an American company and NAD is British.</font>
