Why doesn't Marshall make hi-tech lines for bass amps/cabs?

Yeah but, Porsche builds a SUV, as does Lincoln, etc. ...
I know you’re joking, but...

anyone can build an SUV/CUV and people will buy it in droves. Sports cars are a small niche product that is easier to fail at designing to be desireable.

Somehow the super slow BRZ/GT86 is still in production and the Mustang-competitive Hyundai Genesis Coupe was declared failed in 2016.
 
Happy VBA400 owner here! It weighs more than my daughter and looks like a muffin top on my Bergie NV610, but I find that I can get over it quickly, when I power up the rig.

I don't care if your head hangs over the cab. Who cares? Who died and made them Martha Stewart of head cab fashion. I happen to like it by the way. You have one of the best combinations in the universe.
 
Had no issues with the IBS 3520 & 3540 yet ,except the occasional broken pot . They like being coupled with a tube preamp
