Shell out the big bucks and start bidding on Ebay. Currently there's not one product out there that's even remotely as good as the Empeg.
Even worse, nothing competitive has been announced, not for the near or even in distant future.
(I don't consider the Pioneer and Sony units as competition. Even a Neo35 is better than those, and certainly cheaper!)

Start bidding!! Once you have it you'll never look back!
