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!

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

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).

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.

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..

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.

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.
