Nemesis NA320 Amp - Any Good?

I've got one - bought it some 2 month ago, and I love it.
One of the best amps you can get in that price-range IMHO.
Lots of power, lots of sounds.
Want a clean sound? You can get it.
Want it muddy? You can get that too.
It's relatively simple to operate, but that certainly doesn't mean it's a simple contraption......some people put a lot of thought into it, and you can hear that!
And eh....you can clearly hear a short low 'thump' sound when you start it up.....don't worry about that: all NA320's do that.
When it doesn't do that....THEN you worry :D
:bassist:
 
I had one. It sounded great and I had no problems with it. I traded it toward my new Pbass. A nice thing about the amp is that you can plug headphones into it (without speaker cabs) for silent practice or hook it up for silent recording without damaging the amp. The manual specifically said this was OK to do.
 
I just grabbed one of these off the 'Bay earlier today after much deliberation and many GAS pains... After the reviews of the WT260 (lackluster at best, depending on the situation) and the availabilty of the 320 head (I wanted a head with more power, and wanted to start moving away from SWR), I decided to bite the bullet and go with the NA 320. Being able to pick one up at less than half the cost of the WT 260 was appealing, and I heard lots of good reviews of the NA 320, especially at the price point, and in spite of the fact it's been discontinued by Eden. I should have it in about a week... I'm really excited about being able to run one single cabinet at least at 200 watts into 8 ohms with it, and then getting the full 320 out of 2 cabinets at 4 ohms. I never need more than 3 or 400 watts of power, but my SWR Workingman' 2004 wasn't cutting it all the time for me (200 watts max into 4 ohms). I'm really excited about the Eden...
 
Bump.

There's 37% discount on them in one of the shops in my city.
I'd like to know more about this amp.

I'm using Ampeg B200R, but I'd like something more powerfull for gigs (with bigger cabinet) or something clear, funky, "souly" to run stereo with B200R.

What do you think?
Is it a good deal, or should I forget about this two amps and buy something else (in price range of Ashdown ABM 500)

I like warm, punchy oldschool tone, I play P-bass with TI flats.
 
The Nemesis NA's kick butt. I have a 650 I'm running through an Avatar SB112 Delta LF cab and love it and I have used for for everything from rock to funk to gospel to folk. Very versatile tone; from warm to hi-fi, it's all there. They're hard to beat. I think they are at the price/versatility sweet spot in the Eden line.

I have tried a number of other brand amps out there, even by the new lightweight mini amps so many are raving about, and I haven't found anything that does what my Nemmy can.
