EA Euphonic Audio Club (NEW WEBSITE)

[peterpalmieri]

Hey guys if you haven't taken a look just yet EA just put up a new website...

http://www.eaamps.com/

If any of you haven't noticed already I'm a pretty big fan of EA stuff on both the electric and double bass sides!



more pictures later

In TB style why not have a dedicated thread to discuss all things EA....

[peterpalmieri]

Here is a thread discussion that has been going on over on the Double bass side in regards to the Doubler

NEW Euphonic Audio iAMP Doubler

[peterpalmieri]

Also a thread that has been going on in regards to the new IAMP Pro

*** EA iAMP Pro *** GOTTA SEE THIS!!!

[KJung]

Interesting that they still have an email question I sent to them years and years ago up in the FAQ section!

Nice site improvement IMO.

EA has a very impressive lineup these days. I wonder why they don't offer a 4 ohm version of the NL410? I can see how the iAmp Pro with a pair of 8 ohm NL210's would be a top notch system - very potent, scalable, and light weight. A vertical NL210 stack wouldn't have comb filter degradation and would also bring the upper drivers closer to ear level. From the other thread it says the tonal balance is very good. Is the bass response full and fat with a good chest thump with this rig?

^I'm glad they kept a bunch of that stuff, they have some good info on Class D Amps and the others as well which is a cool reference tool for an EE dummy like myself...

+1 The iAmp800 (and the EpiUL502, which had the same basic design) were kind of cool 'transition' amps. Many of us complained about the 'thin' low end of our Walter Woods, and associated that with class D power, when actually it seems it was due to the switching power supplies back then not quite being up to the task of cranking deep low end at high volumes (at least in the Walter).

EA and Epi used a hybrid design that used a class D power amp, but with a toroidal (traditional transformer type) power supply for that deep low end wump. While neither of these amps really did it for me tone-wise, they WUMPED in the low end. Now, with the wonderful SMPS available (and I assume improved class D power amps also), these hybrid designs are no longer necessary, and all the new EA and Epi amps use SMPS (switching power supplies). It was a unique solution to the 'I need the big wump but want it reasonably lightweight' back then (10 years ago or so).

A little more historical info...

Here is the spec sheet for the old VL cabinets

EDIT: (see my post on page 2)

Can you make that bigger please Peter?

I recently added a second NL210 and am now using an IAMP Pro with 2 NL210s it is an unbelievable set up and has the potential to get way louder then I need.

Actually, The iAmp500 w/(1) NL-210 and (1) CLX-112 has the potential to get way louder then I need...but then I do lead a sheltered life...

I've gotta say, I love my EA gear!! It started with the Iamp 800, now I have 2 NL-210's, 1 CXL 112, and a Wizzy. I guess the Iamp Pro is next on my list. Glad to see some EA love here on the boards!

[pedroferreira]

Count me in

I love EA.

The Cxl112 is great...


But the NL210 is awesome

[Stereo Joe]

I'm glad they finally have pictures of the front panels of the amps that are big enough to see what the controls are!

[peterpalmieri]

Not quite all inclusive:

2x NL210
2x VL208
2x VL108 (currently for sale)
Doubler
IAMP Pro



My first taste of EA gear was the IAMP 350, it wasn't quitest amp on the planet but it sounded great with my Bag End stack S15XD/S15D before I got my first NL210 which is in the picture.


Also owned a Wizzy 10 at one point but it wasn't my cup of tea..

Peter,
For some unknown reason the link to the EA Speakers doesn't work, don't know why? Could you PM it to me. Thanks

I have a bigger version in my VL108 FS thread

Euphonic Audio EA VL108s (pair)

I will try to fix it tomorrow..

I'm in. I have an iAMP500C, a wizzy 12, and a CXL-112.

Question: Has anybody put plastic/metal caps on the corners of their EA gear? The one corner of my iAMP500C is starting to really break up. I would like to protect it before it gets worse.

[fretster]

I'm in too. Here's my delightfully tiny Micro 300 and Whizzy-110. They sound way bigger than they look. Under 20 lbs for the head and cab combined.




I also have an i800, which I use with an Epi UL210 and Berg AE410. In theory I could run them both at once from the i800, as they are both 4ohms, and the i800 is happy driving 2ohms.

[comfortstarr]

Still digging my iamp 350 here. The new Micro looks very nice though.
