Musicman20 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 http://www.mesaboogie.com/amplifiers/bass/subway-series/subway-d800-plus/index.html This looks fantastic. You can see where the ex-Genz engineer influence is. Available in the USA shortly for a great price. Available in the UK in around 24 months at more than double the price.

franzbassist Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Due in the UK in December, I believe, with an RRP of £1050. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Nice, but the Magellan has the influence of the main ex-Genz engineer and is £400 cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]That is much nicer looking than the D800 and if you buy an HPF for about £100 you are sorted.

deksawyer Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 The original D800 has a built in, albeit fixed HPF. Why would it need to be adjustable? IMO, they should have added a compressor instead of the variable HPF. Much more useful.... D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_Bass Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Oh! So nice! Love the features, everything i need (and yes, i prefer a HPF to a compressor, amp built-in compressors rarely are of any use). Time to start saving money!

Musicman20 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 If I was in the market for an amp, this would be the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 It looks like a great amp but £1000+. Far too much money for me for that type of amp. The EBS Reidmar has similar features and can be had for about half the price of the Mesa. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]An HPF serves two purposes, one to limit cone excursion outside of the usefull frequency range of the speaker cabinet. As each speaker is different, a variable is best. It can also help tame a boomy room in a way that rolling off the bass may not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
