Jim---the great reviewer-------hope they sounded better with Sundown power than USamps power.

That review was on a tube amp. I have never liked the sound from tube amps.

While everyone's entitled to their opinions (and I certainly have nothing against high-power SS guys)...there's a difference between tube-related distortion and crappy-amp-design distortion //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Fall: TC Sounds

i disagree strongly.......they had problems recently with not being able to provide free equpiment to thier "sponsored"....but when you run a business, its hard to just shell otu free ship, especially when each item's manufacturing cost is several hundred dollars.....there was a disgression between snoop and TC sounds but shit happens sometimes. i mean when you run a business, you can have kinks in the line somtimes. which certainly trying to provide things for the sponsored and then falling through is certainly a kink, i dont see that as being somethig makeing the company being on a downfall...TC's doing fine....and still making kick ss drivers that for the money as pretty sick.....Thilo over @ TC has been pretty nice abotu helping me with info and ideas for my spl project (when i funds).

not too mention TC makes the loudspeakers that the band coldplay uses when they tour......i dont see TC as falling anytime soon....

You sure about that? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Take this FWIW, but it says something when a company that used to brush off any hints of selling direct and concentrating strictly on being an OEM suddenly starts selling an in-house line...

This is about the 3rd time I've heard this mentioned on this forum, and I just have to ask...who cares? I don't see Mackie, or Crown, or Electrovoice needing to toot their horn like that.

Just IMHO //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Well, more than that...but "several hundred dollars" is terribly naive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
