I bought a new Mesa Baron in 1997, and still have it. I first heard the amp at the CES show in Chicago in 1996, I think. It was in a room matched up with Platinum speakers and I thought it was the best sound at the show. What has been nice is that tube sets are 1/2 price to the original owner. Midrange is liquid and I love female voice, so I have been happy for many years with the Baron. Lately I'm lusting after a BAT VK75SE though and so I think a 9/10, one owner Baron is going to get listed here soon. Sometimes it's just time for a change, and the VK75 is the only amp I would sell the Mesa for.
