Torch,
I asked about intend use because that's an issue I believe.
My intended use is smaller solo gigs and rooms. I've been looking for an amp that has stereo inputs.
If there are perceived issues, they tend to be around the width control and bass response.
As far as bass response goes, again the gigs I'll use the SSV.3 in are smaller. And I've adjusted the master EQ on my Tyros to compensate. I've also used a single Bose compact in these smaller gigs, and the bass was OK but nothing great.
The other thing that seems to get attention is the width function. So far I've used that sparingly and let the room acoustics do the rest.
Here's the thing. To me, the SSV.3, without the width function is the same as using my Nano 300 or using one of my Bose Compacts. In all three cases, I get mono effect. My Nano 300 can produce somewhat of a stereo effect if I put the tweeters on a stand...and spend time fiddling with the EQ.....more hassle at a gig than I'm interested in doing.
The thing that's different on the SSV.3 is that I can add some width and get a much bigger sound.
I also realize that I'm a real rookie with the SSV.3 and will have a much better feel for how it works a year from now after I've used it for several gigs.
One other thought. I think the SSV.3 is one of those amps that a person just needs to use over time and in several different venues to give it a fair chance to see what it can do.
