Elite 4 and Elite 2

Post by autofile »

Hi All,

I am currently using my beloved MS Series amps (two MS2125's on mids and tweeters, one MS2250 on subs).

I have been studying with great interest the new Elite amps, and I am seriously considering using one Elite 4 (mids and tweeters) and one Elite 2 (subs).

I do have a question for you experts on the Elite models: where are they made?

This may or may not be of concern to many of you, but it is an important consideration to me.

Thanks in advance for any information!

No longer really "in tune" with the audio industry, and probably have not been for some time.

Absolutely!
One ms2125 on Dynaudio md130 tweeters, one ms2125 on Dynaudio e650 bass/Mids, and one ms2250 on a pair of 12" subs.
Simple, clean, effective. And headroom!

That you have.

Headroom is a good thing. Unless you are a guitar player using a tube amp :)

^^^Depends on the amp, ur signal chain and whether the amp is all tube or a hybrid version :doh: . Just my 02c from an avid 7 string player using an all tube head (Bugera 333XL, BBE 382i Sonic Maximizer and Didgitech GSP2101 Artist ver 3.0) :twisted: .

Hi Morgan!

Ok, thank you for clearing that up definitively.

Indeed it has been a long long time! Yep, I'm one if the original oldsters I am afraid! LOL!

Wow, Your memory is good! I am impressed!
I did run 3 ZPA's back in the day!

I sent you an email to your provided link. Hopefully you will receive it.
