At first I was disappointed, but the more I think of amplifi, the more I like it.
I personally prefer the XT/X3 modeling over the HD modeling. So, what the amp looks like to me is a 150 watt powered PA speaker with an X3 built inside of it. I don't know, that sounds pretty cool to me! There are a lot of folks who use PODs through a PA speaker, this is nothing new.
My main concerns:
- Just how loud is it? A single 12" speaker can only move so much air. And I'm really not expecting much out of the tweeters and woofers...I would be happy to be surprised though.
- Having to buy a Android tablet. I hope there are cheap versions out there. I don't want to have to spend an additional $200 on top of the amp just so I can tweak it. I could use my phone I guess, but I think my eyes will be really strained on the small screen.
I'm excited to try one out, I hope it's deafeningly loud.
(anyone else think it looks weird?)
