Is EDEN on the way out?
- Thread starter Dilatant
- Start date
I saw their sites but I don't really see any dealers that have inventory, other than full compass(Whom I wrote to and still waiting to hear back from) just seeing if anyone has heard anything on the down low.
Marshall is holding on to them, but like Marshall does they rely on the strong name of the past to keep them going and have not done anything worth speaking of new but a bit of me too in the class D or light weight stuff...
They are all about their past great gear, which was great. But their cabs are exactly the same as 20+ years ago.
In these times that is not what sells.
Their lower level gear is good stuff.

Funny ... as long as I've been on TB, I've never seen an Eden product. Hmmmm! I must be out of the loop 
I saw a post on Edens facebook, 410XLT is no longer on their site.
Shame. This cab was fabulous. I own D410T (second version of first "David") and I absolutely adore it.
They should change their motto to
"We Were Eden".
Long time ago.
If you like the 410 xlt , the DNA 410 at about 70 lbs. will amaze you.
Actually I preferred D410T, which I eventually got. But DNA deserve more recognition for sure!
IMO, Marshall hasn't made anything worth buying since the end of the 1960s.
Very sad IMO. I am an Eden fanboy. I always wanted a TOTL Eden amp but could never get the $$ to pull the trigger.
I still own a D210XLT and D210XST, and used to own a D115XLT (I mixed driver sizes...I confess!!). GREAT cabs but heavier than I want to carry. Very much enjoying my Subway D800+ and 215 cab (60 lbs for a 2x15, with handles and tilt-back wheels - yahoo!!).

I used Eden amps and cabs for years. When I switched to Class D, I was able to test their offerings side by side with the Mesa Subway line. It wasn't close - the Mesa was so much better in both sound and (to me, at least) build quality. The price was close, however.
I also was a bit disgusted that in their material and on their website, they have removed all reference to the founder of Eden, David Eden, as though he never existed. Why erase history? SMH

Eden had its day....used them for over 20 years, but others have moved way passed them (for me). Same as above, all about Mesa now or Genz
I got the last D112XST8 on Amazon at a GREAT price over the summer. They havent been in stock, so I guess they are not restocking.
I trust the older Eden designs, but not the newer ones. The next rig I get will be a Mesa TT-800 and either a 2x12 or two 1x12's.

LCD televisions and brick phones are still available, too.
I think maybe yes. Guitar Center was advertising the EX series cabs until recently, albeit backordered. The whizzy cabs sounded good! Now they're gone. Only cabs left they have are the XST series. Which, don't get me wrong, are phenomenal. But when you're selling a 2x10 and a 4x10 that are old school weight (100 pounds for the 410) and that's it, well...
I just ordered a replacement driver for an EX112 cab, at least I could still get one of these whizzy cones special ordered through a marshall parts dealer.
The founder of Eden was David Nordschow, the name Eden came from the city where the company started.
