Hope they don't place it in the elite line, lol.

It would be cool but remember, the company is owned by someone else now. It would be great to see some retro looking amps, like a remade m-series, ZX, ZPA, MPS. Imagine the elite technology but in one of the aforementioned designs.

Never going to happen. The cost to reproduce any old school PG would be more than the retail value....Toshiba outputs & pre-drivers, Panasonic Caps, ALP's pots, sexy chassis/heat sinks....something all companies avoid now a days (costs).

Although, if it would sell like hot cakes, maybe they would make a modern version of it.........

This is what I was saying. I didn't mean that they would make reproductions but rather limited edition amps with modern guts but styling taken from the classics. I'd buy into it. I'm more likely to buy an elite amp that matches my ZPAs than a normal elite amp, even though elites are a superior amp. Imagine of you could do an install with some old school and some modern amps but they would all flow together well.

yes production costs would be more today then it was back then but I don't see why they would not still sell with how people still look for them used. They don't need to reinvent the wheel and change it, we liked it the way it is although I am sure they could make them much smaller now if they wanted to invest some money into them.

yea I am running it with elite amps lol. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I turn it down/off but there has never been a time where I was tired of having one or annoyed by it.

you can use a bass cube with any amp, 100w rms or 10000w rms,

what is certainly a good thing, that the amp(s) will pull way less current then

without the basscube.............. personally i love the thing...........
