“Priced at $1,999 a piece, they sit at the top of the Road Series price spectrum, but are infinitely more accessible than that $20k model”
Tone King Royce Preamp

“It follows the five-star Imperial Tri Tube and the Royalist, both of which have clearly shown Tone King’s expertise in this area of the market”
