But it is a pain to get those moduls.
You got a good source MF?

As for the power, I think the class D amps rating should be decided by two to compare with a regular SS.

Unfortunately I don't have a means of getting them. They're very expensive to buy through a OEM and even then, they don't seem to want to sell them.

As far as your class d statement, I'm afraid I don't understand what you are trying to say.

What a killer amp. Unfortunately, it had to be sent back to the retailer due to hum. I hope they can fix that issue and I get my baby back ASAP! ;-)

so it looks like I may be buying a WT600 Road Runner. Does anyone know if I could run an 8ohm Acme B1 off one channel and a 4ohm B1 of channel 2? in biamp mode?

I know this is an older model - not sure what year it was made but the current owner says it still has the original preamp tube. Is this OK or should I plan on changing it first thing?

Whats the crossover used for? My current amp is a GK700RBII, so I dont know what to make of this button.

thanks!

Yes, you can drive different loads from the channels.
I see no reason to use biamp mode. Dual mono is fine with these cabs.
The crossover is for the biamp mode, to adjust the crossover frequency. Above that the signal is send to the output marked high and below to low.

The tube can still be fine and they last very long in those amps.

Thanks. I have a D210XST 8ohm and an 8ohm ACME B1. The way I understand it my options would be to run the amp in bridged mode into the D210XST only or daisy chain the two cabs off the same side for 300 watts into the combined 4ohm load. Originally I was thinking I could use an 8 ohm cab on each side/amp, but it sounds like that would only yield 180 watts into each which doesnt sound too useful. Is my math right here?

This seems like an odd amp, but its a tube-preamp Eden and the price is right ($400) so I think it may actually be workable for my situation (recording and live with PA support).

Thanks for clarifying 'bi-amp versus dual mono. I dont see using bi-amp mode.

Best option is to have one on each side.
you will get 175 W from each channel that way, so total of 350W
instead of 300W when both (total 4 Ohm) connected to one side.
And you can use the balance knob to create your sound by sending more signal to one or the other cab.

Thanks for your advice. Well, here it is! What a great match for my D210XST - that cab sounds much better hooked up to the Eden vrs my GK 700RB-II. This is an older amp (still has banana connectors instead of speakons.) Previous owner thinks it still the original tube. Should I change it, how do you know if it needs changing? I've never owned a hybrid amp before. Local store only stocks Groove Tubes (Chinese and Russian) - are these any good?

The tube brand is not really important. Just a good one will do.
Since the tube is in the impedance stage of the preamp it will not effect the sound in a way we know it from tubes in the gain stage.
Ruby tubes are used by Eden, but Groove tubes get the job done.
You will here it when the tube is bad. When ever the amp starts sounding bad, change the tube. I change them on my amps maybe every 5 years with daily playing.
