2000 watt 115 speaker
"It looks good"

Only to the massively under-informed.
It doesn't take much to know that's a completely ridiculous number.

He told me that he was going to have his Acoustic Engineer tell us about how they got that rating after Chinese new year. This never happened. :(

Dear S-Bigbottom,

thank you for your question.

I will ask our head of Acoustic Engineering to answer this question. Andrew Pardoe is heading Turbosound engineering, whose drivers have been used in these cabinets.

However, Chinese New Year has just started, and hence I kindly ask you for some patience.

Warm regards

Uli

How useful RMS watt ratings are is demonstrated by the whole 'valve watts' thing. The watts might be the same, the perceived volume, that is the relevant thing, totally different.

Limiting bandwidth
Compression
Distortion

These can all be done with signal processing before the amp. And/or with external feedback around the amp. With all the other Bugera amps I expect they know this, and have listened to them.

Distortion is going to be up in the mids on up. If there's already something loud playing there it would mask the perceived loudness.

This amp just says
"2000w"

Not
2000w Valve
2000w RMS
2000w Peak
2000w FTC

There more info on the side of a tire

There's going to be a lot of speculation about what this means until one hits a bench someplace.
In the meantime it may prove to a be a good powerful amp for people using it. I doubt the demographics buying this care much.

In all fairness to Uli, the thread was shut down and something was probably communicated to him about the forum policies. The latter is just a guess on my part. I would venture to say that since the vehicle that he was using to state his claims was no longer available, he stopped. Could he have sought out the people who he promised that info to? Absolutely! Not sure if those sort of expectations are realistic for someone in his capacity though. Just my opinion and I wish the thread would have been allowed to continue.

He continued communication with me privately, filled in the stuff I was asking via email, and invited me to tour the service centre. And hooked me up with a valve supplier (but their minimum order was too much for my scale).

You know, I have been following a few of the Bugera/Behringer related threads and what I think I see is a company that appears to be trying to step up their game. Check out the last page of this one, or the entire thread for that matter....

If that truly is their intent, I can only say it's a good thing.

When I send him a message he always gets back to me within a couple days. He is very kind, informative and open to suggestions. I don't know anyone at any other musical equipment company that will do that for me.

I think Bugera and Behringer are going to continue to enjoy success because they learned from their early mistakes and are always improving. The echos of hate quotes against the company are starting to ring pretty hollow.

Back to the subject, I'm very interested in the Veyrons, but they're all sold out everywhere. My question is, do I want to try the Tube or Mosfet? Anyone have any experience on this? I think I read a post by a German TBer who had both but can't find his review.
