They need to, Mesa, GK, and Bergantino all have Class D amps that are 2 ohm capable. And trust me, pushing four, 8 ohm cabs, is pure blissfulness. Thank you Mesa!

Aguilar announcement

The announcement will say:
"Gotcha! Bwaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!"

I just want a volume knob on the Tone Hammer pedal for AGS activation.
The original face plate and knobs looked better.
the updated version looks like cheap toy.

2.67 ohm on the 500 watt models. Single speaker out. I know its electrically different but I prefer 2 outputs. Reason being that you can have a cable failure/cab failure and still have one or more cabs operating.
wrong, it's headlights on a truck
Maybe they are liquidating the current amp lineup? Fat Bass Tone had a sale “while supplies last” 25% on the TH700, AG700 and the AG500. The only one that is still available is the TH700 at $712.50.
That’s an interesting observation. I didn’t know Korg owned DG. The cab sim control on the updated Aggies looks familiar in that light….
That's how I feel about their pedals. I have a V1 Agro and a V1 TLC Compressor and they're way better looking and constructed than the current V2 versions IMHO. The sleek monochromatic designs of the V1 pedals are beautiful!
But of course! More of a priority when I ran one or two 4-ohm cabs, but now working with inefficient -- but wonderful -- 8-ohm cabs.
Nice updates. Those heads were a little behind the others in terms of features and were due for a refresh. I'm sure these will be popular.

I wanted one of those, but besides being heavy they have a weird form factor; they are so deep a custom rack case would need to be made for it.
But with 2 ohm capabilities, you could run four of those wonderful 8 ohm cabs.
