Yep, but you want to make sure you're using some neo speakers. Ya' know, to keep the weight down ;)

Agreed. With neos, it should be easy for two guys and a small cherry picker to move it anywhere that doesn't have stairs.

Here's the fun part: that big monster isn't even a complete amp. There are no preamp or driver sections. It will take roughly a 60 watt amp just to act as a DRIVE stage for that monster.

if i read parts 1 and 2 of the links correctly it has its preamp and driver = still massive

from the end of part 2:
QuoteShe has been on (off at night whilst I am in bed) and like this for about ten days on soak-test now, and believe me...the blue plasma glow in the 807's (which they are quite famous for doing) is getting better and better by the day! My next move is the pre-amp and drive stages.

He has circuit provisions for a 6SN7-based preamp with EL36's for drivers, but they're not installed yet. All he's posted so far is power supply and output stage test measurements, which BTW, are incredibly impressive.  A pair of EL36's, not-so-coincidentally, make around 60 watts when run in pairs.

my amp doesn't RMS 60 watts! it sounds good, just not a lot of balls (short for ballistics)! it only powers two 12"s though. maybe my FenderSunn project will help that a bit when i can get it to a good 15".

OK now I'm into big powered amps but 1000w of tube = 5h!tl04ds more real power than a class D or tranny. That is awesome. Anyway who has ever played in a band with a keyboard player with a Hammond B3 and a Leslie cab?  The logistics involved in gigging a B3 would be similar to using this amp  ;D

Yes but imagine a B3 using this amp, wouldn't that be awesome? :P

Got a buddy with a 1958 C3 tipping the scales at 485lbs. Of course it doesn't leave the house, but it is one hefty hunk-o-organ ;D.

Our keys player read this thread and has been walking around salivating and looking quite a lot more like our drummer since your comment exiledarchangel  ;D
