absolutely true. the idea is not new though. being English i'll bet that they're aware of Quad and their "current dumping" series of amps that have been around since the 70's. just a guess is all, but those Quads employed a very unique design; a high quality but very small and low powered amp that would piggyback itself onto a much larger "big brother" amp, both of which were in the same chassis. just a guess is all, but maybe Vox got some inspiration from it. the last current dumper, the 909, was discontinued last year http://www.whathifi.com/review/quad-909

Hi 76JazzRay. Unfortunately, the mod price won't change, as they're two completely separate mods. Feel free to give our shop a call at 805-461-4100 and you can discuss directly with James. I know he really wants to get the product out there, so maybe you can work something out.

I'm going to work on adding the weights today....starting with the bass products. Let me know if there's any other info you'd like to have online.

If anyone wants to hear the product in person, we offer a 15 day evaluation period with all our products...so if you're in the market, you can order one & if you don't like it (not gonna happen ), return it with no restocking fees.

The weight for all Demeter products is now displayed directly above the product price (http://www.demeteramps.com). Thanks again for the feedback.

It'd be better to put that down in the specifications.

Great now you are getting there. Alos how about deminsions, I did not see any. On the amps I see one rack space so we know how wide and how tall but how deep?

11 pounds is doable.

What ohms are the speaker cabs? And how about seperating the 3x10 and 2x12?

The 3x10 cab operates at 6 ohms, while the 2x12 is at 8 ohms. I'm actually going to remove the 2x12 from the site, as they're no longer being made. Thanks for the heads up.

You guys might want to feed the site to a copy editor for a few hours. Just general punctuation/grammar errors, which make your company look, well, ...

Example: Just glancing around, I found that the description of the 310- 'The Perfect Match' contains the word it's three times, where it should be its.
Then, 'Big sound in a Small Package-' the first sentence is just a mess- it doesn't make sense.

Description of the GSC-212 guitar cab- "The backs have a removable panel for so you can achieve...."

Needs a little work.

[wcriley]

Yep.
I never take a web site seriously if it contains multiple grammar and punctuation errors.

[DemeterAmps]

Yikes. Most of the copy is from the old website, which was never really gone through with a fine tooth comb....looks like it might be about time. Thanks for the heads up.

Bringing up the thread to ask a question about gain and output control on these amps.
If their new amplifiers have only a volume control, how can optimal gain be set? Is the gain being adjusted with the same knob?

[bongomania]

If it is designed like most other stand-alone power amps, then it only has a gain control. Your preamp signal hits the input buffer, then the gain knob adjusts the level, then the signal hits the actual power amplification stage.

It does raise the point though that this standard system absolutely depends on the preamp having strong enough output to fully drive the power amp. I wish power amps did have an additional gain stage at the input, for interfacing with a wider range of preamps.

Quick question regarding weights...

You have the HBP1-800D listed at 11lbs and the normal HBP1 at 14lbs. Wouldn't the normal HBP1 pre without the power amp weigh less then the HBP1-800D?

[Red Planet]

No pics no amp where are they? Not hardly anything on the site that I could find.
