The amp might be rated for, say, 100 watts, but they aren't told that's PEP, and for AM they need to reduce the dead-key input until the output drops to 25 watts. Nor are they told that they aren't very linear and need a LP filter to keep from being heard in the neighbor's television. Yeah, I've said all this about a hundred times before, but it needs to be said again every once in a while. What do you think about Macintosh Audio equipment?

Yes, I stand corrected, thanks. Landshark Hello Shark. One of my friends brother was into that brand of gear from way back when. It was loud and as I remember it, his gear was also moved to the party the most. I think Neil Young is a fan of their stuff iirc. |

Many acts toured with "mac" amps before there was the crown,crest, QSC buisness. The dead toured with tons of old tube stuff than later switched to SS. I have a bunch of the SS amps here at work that have huge ass output transformers!!! Yes, transistors and OT's, pretty crazy to work on but look at it thai way, if they blow up they will not go DC into your speakers! Just trash an irreplaceable OT ![]() They are designed for the long haul and hold their value well. If you find a preamp, receiver, or amp for a good price and you have the money, I recommend it, they are units for life. Chad |
