Medeli AKX10 -or- ASM Medeli AKX10?

[BobF.]

Just found an Amazon sale for a "ASM" Medeli AKX10 keyboard. Looking closer, I can see a few cosmetic differences - the most noticeable are the speaker grills. I tried researching this "ASM" model with no luck. Any info on this appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0923YGL3...31E2G1GICD5&returnFromLogin=1#R1831E2G1GICD5&

Doing research I found this: Ashun Sound Machines - Medeli, Hong Kong.

But it still doesn't give a difference in the synths... :/

gets good reviews.

I understand that ASM are part of Medeli, so it is probably just a slight redesign, an upscaling of quality and rebranding, sort of like Toyota > Lexus.

I don't see any difference. If there is, its a poor attempt to rise the MEDELI brand image with ASM brand they now own.

Did not look at prices, your link shows Currently Unavailable.

The ASM tag may be an attempt to gloss over the many poor reviews of the AKX.

I just noticed again here at Amazon - very small print - this is a used keyboard -

ASM stands for Ashun Sound Machines, a daughter company of Medeli, specializing in hi-grade synths. https://www.ashunsoundmachines.com/ Medeli itself recently opt into cooperation with Kurzweil.
