It's a good week for my G.A.S.
I found a BBE Bmax sitting in one of my local music stores, and managed to walk away with it for $125 (used but works fine, even after promptly dropping it).
Last night I stumble upon an ebay sale by Dave over at Avater for a NEO210, choice of 4 or 8 ohm, choice of red or black tolex. I figure if I can get it for less than 300 shipped, you really can't beat that. So, hopefully my bid will hold up for the next hour and I'll have that too.
But I need a power amp, and I'm trying to continue with this absurd price/quality streak I'm on here. I figure I'll get the Avatar in 4 Ohm and pick up an amp that can put out around the 500 watts it's rated at per channel and be able to add another 4 Ohm cab later and run the amp in stereo instead of bridging it into two 8 ohm cabs.
So far, there's an older Crown XLS402B rated at 400/ch @ 4 Ohms on ebay for 265, theres the tapco J-1400 putting out 450/ch, but that's double the weight. QSC I'd have to go up to the 1450 which is a little pricey.
Only other option I can think of is a Carvin DCM600 bridged @ 450W into an 8 Ohm avatar, and just get a new amp or add a second amp when I get another cab.
Oh decisions, decisions. Any help is greatly appreciated.
