New L.E amps?

Post by Bigred41291 »

I know that there is "the one" but there can't be many left. Are there any plans fo a new L.E run? Like how about a modern frank using the elite2+4 in a custom sink or something like the reactor with a 1500.1 and the 800.4? Anyone else got any ideas? Morgan do you have any input?

Couldnt be any more outrageous than what the original LE amp prices used to be, isnt that just a part of what makes them so cool & special?

the prices on the LE amps have always been at an elite level to say the least. Its one of those cases where ya gotta play to pay. Wait that doesn't sound right. :)

One clear issue with putting two of the elite amps under one chassis is simply lifting it and installing it. The elite amps are VERY heavy to begin with.

If they put two elite boards in one chassis and came up with some light weight liquid cooling system, then maybe it would be practical.

I'm all for the L.E. amps. My suggestion is on track with Erics, in that I would use smaller amps. Namely the 1500.1 and the 600.4, otherwise it'll take up way more space them most of the L.E.s of yesteryear.
