Hi everyone. I thought I'd share some news that I posted on Bassworld recently. I know that most of us have a) bad backs and b) an insatiable need to be heard. SO I recently bought one of these:-

1000W RMS+1000W RMS .. 1u .. 8.5kilos

You may remember I hassled you for info on 2u stereo bass heads, but just banged my head against the wall. nothing seemed to be right for the job. I wanted to keep my preamp anyway.. so a few days of googling, found 'Powersoft' from Italy and the UK distributor, Beyerdynamic.. (Though mine ended up coming from a PA company, new)

You've gotta see some of these specifications, they are sick

I have gigged my amp twice now and it is very powerful and crystal clear. OK the price tag is a bit hefty, but for once I think it is pretty much worth it. My 4u rack now has my preamp, my FX, a stereo compressor AND the new poweramp.. I can carry it with one hand! COuldn't do that with my SVT2 pro!! ;o)

I know there has been a lot of 'opinions' on D Class technology, but, I would like to honestly say, my once slightly tainted views, in favour of pure valve have now been put to rest. I'm thrilled!

I have the amp running into 2 Tech Soundsystems 4x10 cabs, rated at 1200W rms each, just to be on the safe side.

Congratulations!

This looks incredible. As close as you can get to a perfect amp.
You've "Future Proofed" yourself. This an amp suitable for a lifetime.

I'll have to save a little to get there, but glad to hear about your current and future experiences.

Hey Thanks! yes, that has been my intention for a long while. I think I am FINALLY g.a.s.less in the amp department.. pheeeeew! I have sold my SVT2 pro and am selling my Yamaha power amp too, as it is no longer required. I'm just chuffed to have a light powerful rig that is complete in a 4 u rack case ;o)

It's getting another run this week in 2 more venues, i already know that i am gonna have no problems playin against MR 5150 on the RHS of the stage , or Bonzo II next to me!!!

Thanks for the link, Charlie! I've got to save a little too. Might have to put some of my basses up for adoption, maybe some cabs as well...:eek:

I'm not so sure you should be thanking me, LOL.:cool:

I'm sitting here over my morning java contemplating pulling out the plastic myself. I've known about the Powersoft stuff for a few years, but I had happily pushed the knowledge away for safekeeping -- until now.

BTW, you might wasnt to look at some of the other models. Some will bridge to 4 ohms, if that's important to you.
