Eden WT800D???

[paulerip]

Can someone tell me what an Eden WT800D is and how it sits in with the other WT800 models? I know they are currently on the "C" version of the head. Someone is selling one here in town for a good deal and just making sure the "D" is not a factory second or similar. The date stamp on the amp is 2000 - thanks for any help,

Well.... "C" is the latest version and it has gone in numerical order up until this point so I'm not really sure what version "D" would be. I didnt think that was out yet and if it was it wouldnt be dated 2000...

Paraphrase from the Eden forumite, firebass:

"The WT800A series are all the WT800s made before US Music Corp. purchased Eden in 2003. Pre-USM WT800s had numerous mods, A-D. So your unit might say WT800D on the back. Don't be fooled. This is still a WT800A. US Music Corp. 800B and C versions have speakon outputs, while the 800As have banana plugs. The earlier 800A can be bridged at 8 ohms (not 4 ohms as in later versions), and run dual mono at 4 ohms per side. If I remember correctly, the vent holes are round in an A version. Later models have more oval vent holes. Also, on the back of 800As the bridge output should say 8 ohms."

+1, though some of the A versions (2003-2005 I think) have the speakons too.
