The Burpster Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 It will be difficult to say unitl i) someone gets their mits on one and plays it and ii) we find out how much it goes for or what the reserve is...... I've seen the OLP brand name before but dont know what their manufacturing is like. LOOKS pretty nice..... could be ace or a pile of poo.....

I have tried one, and I can see why. While it was well made, very comfortable and lightweight, it sounded rather dull and lifeless. Plus it cost almost as much as the low end Spectors (which, unlike the OLPs, have active electronics and are probably much closer to the "real" Spector sound). YMMV, of course.
