EBS Fafner

Ordered a "Blemished" version from MF (a dent, no power cable, and no manual; just amp). With discounts it cost me $1069.

Anyway, this thing is a monster! You increase the Drive just a bit and it gets the tubes going; you get this smooth, punchy, and fat tone. But its not fat like . . . . boomy. Defined, clear, and slightly compressed. I wanted to go with the DB 750 or 751, but, frankly, I am glad I went with this.
 
Congrats on the Fafner. I had an earlier grey faced version and yes it had power switch problems, i constantly had to send it off to Ebs for repairs. But when it worked properly, man it had the most amazing sound. Im glad to hear Ebs corrected that.
