Johnnyb53 : Can we please keep Aczel out of this? He certianly causes blood to boil. Unfortunately, I never appreciated the anger issue when I mentioned his review. He detracts from the fact, the 500A's as mono blocks are certianly outstanding driving the Nova Enolution , a full range speaker in my home.
As for professional stage amps ,I agree, I also would never use them . My cousins are professional musicans (LA, Vegas & Touring) & I also play guitar as an aside. I prefer nos tube Marshall, Fender and VOX , although lately my cousin ,Tony Scuito, has been using some strange named Chinese gear he gets from the distributors. Having been on the road before I understand the issues. Of course, for a coffee house singer & player on a tight budget a 500a could work.
I'm going to give a look to the SLA's . All the best.
