Has anyone heard anything about this: Thunderfunk TFB800-B2
Went to the Thunderfunk website a few minutes ago and saw a photo of what looks to be the newest offering from Dave.
I would like to see the specs on it.......

Anyone know what changed?

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Alexandria, VA | | | Here's a quote from Dave Funk from a series of emails we exchanged yesterday about the 800-B2:
"We made some small mods to the 750 along the way and the new amp has them all. A little louder at 2-ohms, surge protection, a little brighter, less DC offset in the DI. The 750 was 3 years old so it was time for a new model. Almost the same amp. "
It's going for the same price as the 750, $1895.

Greg | I would guess that it is a "Beefed up" version of the 750. On the site it states 800 watts @ 2 ohms, 630 watts @ 4 ohms, & 305 watts @ 8 ohms. I would like to try one out.
As far as power goes, the 750 is plenty, however, the 2 ohm option....... Of course, I have ran mine some at 2.67 ohms. I wonder if their is a difference in the tone? Quote: |

Good to see the Thunderfunk going strong and making updates.

It's hard to believe Dave could improve the 750. Heck my 550 sounds great!
Maybe when the economy turns around...........
I need a 800 like I need a hole in the head. But that has never stopped me.

I am expecting/hoping for a review of your new head after you have had some seat time with it.
You did such a great job on the other TF reviews. Your honest assessment of the Thunderfunk heads was one of the reasons I seriously considered them.
