Kevin Dean Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I have the the ABM 400 digital I like it a lot & was planning on getting the 1000w version . But would I be missing out on what the ABM 600 could do ? I wish someone would make the decision for me as I can't A/B them & wasting far too much time thinking about it .

mazdah Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 600 has an output transformer so the sound should be beefier. Also the preamp is slightly different, more options. 1000 is what you have, just more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Ashdown are building a ABM1000 just for me having already having the ABM 400 I plug it in I think "bloody hell that's a great sound" & I've never consistently had that thought . Such a flexible amp . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Cool a build thread too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_S Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Is the special build because there are none left in the shops, or because there's a custom element to the one they're making for you? Hope you enjoy the 1000 when it arrives - I'm still glad I happened upon mine when I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 it started , when I asked for some information on a ABM600 & the ABM1000 , Lee offered me a ABM 2000 they had, but while emailing me it had sold , He then offered me the ABM1000 for a great price , but that had gone as well , So they are building me one from scratch for the same quoted price ....Just a great company to deal with .
