Another Thomann question

[Excalibur]

Has anyone got experience of this, or it's brothers and sisters?

The two reasons I ask are;
1) It's cheap!

2) I could be wrong, but it bears a stunning resemblance to my C-Mark 2450, which I love. I want an amp for backup for this, and occasionally running my subs, to put a bit more oomph into the small rig. ( Which appears to be becoming the main rig rapidly. Someone heard us running it up pre-gig last week, and thought there must be a band on!:D )

I have no experience of the amp, except that people on other forums seem to think they are very good for the money.

Very much as I suspected. Pleased to hear that, I have the exact equivalent, and rate it highly. My supplier said there was a problem with a batch, which all lost the left hand channel. Older ones are OK, just maybe a worry if the glitch hasn't been sorted yet. :confused:

You mean there are other forums besides this one? And I thought we were unique!:(

Badge engineering, I suspect,

Badge engineering, I suspect,

[Excalibur]

huh??

Putting different Badges on the same equipment, and selling it at different prices, implying that the dearer badges are better.;)

Badge Engineering, but the only difference in the engineering is the badge!!!!!!

Now happens notably with vans, among other things.
