Nope, you didn't miss anything; it was just recently put up to replace the NR1506 we had been carrying. As you all know, we've been offering a few Marantz products for some time. We were able to test out the NR1606 and we were really, quite impressed. It is something we are happy to offer and recommend as an all-in-one HT solution for people with efficient speakers or with smaller sized rooms. It is also a great pair with the Atlantic Technology 3.1HSB soundbase!
