It only has one Speakon connector, but it does have two 1/4" connectors. Also the output transformer has a tap on it that can be switched to accomodate a 4 and 8 ohm output setting rather than using the factory 2 & 4 ohm setting.

Almost forgot, it weighs 51 lbs.

The real kicker is if it comes in at under $1000.

At 20 lbs less than my SVT-II and with a sweepable mid control, this might be the SVT killer I need to find to part with mine. Plus having so many t00bz and the no frills cosmetics appeal to me.

always welcome to the market. the YBA-200 seemed like a near miss, but this looks really promising.

It's an all-tube amp, so this is normal - but still very cool.

Ok, I'm officially interested. 8 ohm operation is a must at 300 watts as for me, it would sit on a single fEarful cube... 51 lbs. I can manage that... If this sounds near as good as it should, my wt800 may be in trouble...
