Wonder no more.

Appears to be another cosmetic refresh.
Of course, at $330 ea now, they may sound better to those who do "just listening"

cheers,

Still only available in black.

I am hoping they added some internal bracing, since they've been a resonant nightmare.

It doesn't appear that the weight has changed, not a good sign.

In the box it may weigh just over 50 lbs. The speaker itself weighs only 41 lbs. I am beginning to wonder if they all over state their weights.

So it looks like the only difference is the front panel. It's a shame they couldn't make it glossy black or a nice wood color. I hate black woodgrain, it looks horrible if you put it next to a glossy black speaker.

For some curious and weak minded Canadians like me, BB has them on sale for 199.99 each again. If you bother asking and let them talk to their manager you may get $10 to $15 off to partially offset the GST, but no more than that as they are not like the Future Shops. After factoring in savings in shipping and dollar conversion for just <400 it is as good as it gets here North of the border.

Agreed, if I were to by them again I would invest in getting a new veneer applied.

How difficult or expensive is that sort of thing?

Is it confirmed that the only difference is the look of the speaker? I emailed audioholics and infinity on this issue and havent heard back from them. if theres no difference I am going to pick up the 362's on amazon at 229 per speaker since it would be much cheaper than getting a "rebranded" 363
