Prophet X/XL soon to be discontinued?

Prophet X/XL soon to be discontinued?
« on: October 20, 2021, 07:35:07 PM »
Something I've noticed is the Prophet X and Prophet XL are now only available in select few Long And McQuade stores in Canada and not available to order. Usually this happens when an item becomes discontinued but they have a few units in stores. Is the PX and XL on the chopping block?

Hi, I don't know if this is officially confirmed and maybe it's just an error or mistake in the communication but Prophet X is still available but XL is not in the latest pricelist anymore.

That would suck if that's the case. Shame that Sequential didn't even bother announcing it.

I messaged Sequential about this. No answers yet.

Still difficult times getting parts, so could be just a case of unavailability of some parts. Don't know.

CONFIRMED

"Hello Everett, thanks for reaching out.

The Prophet XL is being discontinued once we run out of remaining stock, however some dealers such as Pro Audio Star should have some left in their inventory.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Regards,"

Hi All,

It's just the XL that has been phased out. The standard Prophet X is continuing to be manufactured.
