[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8714822, member: 614752"] Buying pre-order from new """brands""" is very risky especially with a new line. There's been a lot of cases where it turns out great and everyone gets something really good on the cheap but there's been several cases where something goes wrong. Things almost never show up on time and new (untested) far east amps can be hit or miss. The biggest worry is how many dud amps can one of these startup """brands""" eat and not go bankrupt? I can assure you if Sundown got a run of bad amps from their buildhouse they do enough volume that they could bully a buildhouse into making good on replacing them or refunding (and they have deep enough pockets to eat a big loss in a pinch) whereas I doubt one of these Asian sweatshops gives 2 shits if Wolfram ever buys another amp from them if something goes sour. A few memorable examples were the Diablo 2500, RD 3250V2 (which I think is why RD doesn't exist any more), and CT's famous series of amps that actually caught fire. Current Wolfram amps in circulation are pretty much the same cookie cutter Korean boards that everyone else uses so you pretty much know what you're getting there, I'd suspect budget Chinese line would be more comparable to CAB or Skar's Chinese offerings. Far East full bridge is still very new so I'd ONLY buy those from a company like Sundown who I know can cover warranties if things go shithouse. [/QUOTE]
