uuummmmmmm what?

Yikes - why was all that stuff bought in the first place? Besides it being a large quantity of stuff, it's also a ton of garbage! Gem Sound amp? I wouldn't subject anyone to one of those. Behringer and Hartke Transporter Series? The guy could have spent all that money and gotten 1/5th the stuff, but it would have sounded 10x better.

Good luck finding someone who wants a whole stinkin' pile of garbage!
 
If they split it all up they'd get rid of most of it...
There's at least one XL...
Imagine the hiss from all the behringers run into the peaveys!

aw give me a break man. little brand snobbery going on? of all of the shite he has stacked up in the corner there, it is funny to me that the amps get slagged but not the... ahem... high-mid cabinets. not that i think dude's rig makes any sense at all...

those CS800 amps are actually very good, reliable (and a little ugly) amps. i ran one at 2 ohms (and worse :eek: ) for literally years and years and it still works fine today. it was made around 1980. that is almost 30 years.

and behri stuff.... once again.... no, not top of the line by a longshot. but *just* because the name starts with a B and ends with an inger doesnt AUTOMATICALLY mean it sucks and hisses and all of that. almost as bad as the "under-powering speakers" debate.............................

but yeah, dude's rig is pretty ridiculous. but hell, 24 of practically any speaker has got to be pretty loud. right?

Those and their siblings were the music store rental department faves. Unlike some other amps that sounded good too, they really could stand up to the abuse that clueless renters inflicted. An amp rack could roll off the back of a truck or get tipped over and those things kept rockin'. You might have to re-seat a crossover can but that was about it.

+1 Props to the CS800. My first one abused ours very badly, gigging 3-4 times per week for years, and it never let us down. :cool:
