So, then, it's NOT my imagination. Dynacord IS the El Supremo of amps.

I remember being in the music store spending hours with my speakers trying QSC's, Yamaha's, etc. Nothing really moved me. I decided not to buy anything. Then,I happened to catch a glimpse of the Dynacord they had sitting on a shelf in the corner. Figured I was there so I gave it a try. Immediately, it woke both me up and my EV's. Been happy with that unit ever since. And, yes, it looks so bullet-proof, I think only Kryptonite (Superman's Achilles Heel) could bring it down!

I'll make do with my Powermate 1000 for now and when the time comes, I'll have to look into buying another one from overseas. You guys are so lucky over there....you get the Korgs (PA3xPro) first and Dynacords to play them through. And.....you get folks who are more moved by music to play to than we have here.
