Okay this is interesting. Agedhorse went from Genz Benz to work for Mesa Boogie. I used to read stuff he was posting about his work with ICE Power Class D amplifiers at Mesa which turned out to be for the Subway TT-800.
Which gets even more interesting since the design of TT-800 seems to be heavily inspired by the Genz Benz amplifiers. Although the TT-800 doesn’t let you blend the tube and solid state preamps together which, for me, is the coolest part of the Genz Benz amps.
@joergkutter Your right about Genzler being highly respected. With how harsh talkbass can be, both of these guys get huge respect from the community. In reading about Genzler’s Magellan this sounds like the kind of super clean amp you’re looking for. Have you considered getting one?
It would be pretty cool to sit down with these guys and talk to them about why they made the various technical decision they did.
