Genzler Amplification ! New Genz Benz ?

Geez...start playing my Modulus again....Modulus pops back up. Got my new (old stock) Contour 115 and matching Focus 115 (Thanks to a great TB'er)....Genzler Amplification comes to light! I'm kinda responsible, I guess! :laugh:

Seriously, though, this is GREAT news! I'm really excited to see what happens next! I already have my sights set on...well, something that Mr. Genzler will come up with! Woohoo! :bassist::hyper:

edit: Now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't have sold my Deep Impact...;)

Eh... 2 Ohm support would be among my least important features.

Case in point, I was excited for the Carvin B1000. Then I found out it was only 900 watts @2 ohms, and something like 600 @4. Totally removed it from my list of amps to check out.

As an owner of a Streamliner 900 and a Shuttle 9.0, I'm really excited about this!

Personally I vote for a SS/tube lightweight hybrid that can do at least 900 Watts @ 2 ohms :hyper:

Emphasized for your pleasure ;)

Actually I'm shooting more for something designed for 3 x 8 Ohm load in one power section (that's 2.66 ohms right?) as opposed to the dual mono 4 ohm minimum approach (genz shuttlemax 12) or the non bridged and lower powered 2 ohm (Puma 1000, Bonafide etc)...ideally 1200w @ 2.66 ohms...just my dream specs, your dreams may vary :D

Right. Personally I wouldnt want them investing development time and $$ trying to support 2 Ohm loads. I would rather see them spend that on other capabilities and research. YMMV.

OK. I'll concede on weight and power. :D
Versatility might be improved (for some people) with digital programmability.
Not sure how it could be made smaller without giving up versatility, so I stand by that.

Personally, I'd prefer to see a lot of of these things go back to a slightly larger format, if anything. Little bitty knobs with little bitty labeling really close together make me grumpy, and I don't really need any extra help with that.

^^^^ This!!! And welcome back to the fray Mr. Genzler. Can't wait to see what you come up with. A Streamliner variant/evolution that was a bit less pillowy/bottom heavy and a bit more mid forward would float my boat.
