I have had this amp for 7 years and it just rules. The only thing that I
have serviced is the pre-amp tube. I have played hundreds of gigs with
this amp and it has never, ever given me a problem (knock on wood).
I am kind of annoyed at the pop on power up (doesn't matter whether the
volume is up or down) but it hasn't seemed to effect my speakers any. I
had used the same two SWR 4X8's until this summer when I got a SWR 2X12
(4 ohms with 1 cabinet is the reason that I changed, and the sound of
course)
If you want a great sounding, highly reliable amp, this is your baby, at a
decent price too. Although, this one was made when Rabe still owned the
company, can't vouch for the new stuff, but if it's like the old
stuff, it will rock.
