Ashdown ABM series amps

Hi all

Curious about the history of the British made Ashdown ABM series amps. Does anyone know the years of manufacture and changes between EVO, EVO II, EVO III?

Were the circuit boards, power stages, EQ stages etc substantially changed between models ?

Of course there's the ABM 300, 500, any more ?

There was also the period of course that Ashdown made the white- faced Euphonic Audio amps. I understand that the power stage of these amps is basically the same as the early ABM EVO amps. Does anyone know more about this ?

Thanks in advance for any replies

Cheers

T

My EVO II 300 watt 1x10 combo which was all UK built was bought new by me from sound control (i think it was that then?) in Birmingham in around 2002-3 I think. So the EVO 1 must be before that. I was lead to believe that much of the amps were something to do with the then down and out Trace Elliot?

I looked up Clive Button's site. Read a bit like the highlights from his CV, also listing amps he designed, but not mcu detail beyond that. I've sent an e-mail to Ashdown at Chelmsford asking if they keep info about the history details etc of the ABM series and associated models.

I'll report back with updates
