 Yeah, props to them for thinking, er um outside of the normal box. I'm all for anything that's different, kinda pricey (but really not to far out of line considering) but I know there's a lot of work involved in those cabs. Very pretty.

Makes me wish I had access to a CNC machine! Gotta give credit where due. I think the last time I saw that site they were promoting a Champish amp that would accept 6K6's to 6L6's (and possibly a couple KT's). Plug in a different tube fer a dif'rent flavor.

Well, China didn't burn the White House during the 1812 war. OK, technically Canada was still a British colony but they were already evil.

Damn Canadians - all there cold air too!

Looks like they are based out of Windsor, Ontario.  Hmmm, didn't they base the 1812 war from there, is there something new in the works?

I decided to remove my original post, I was going to ask about Canadian tariffs and such and how they continue to allow it, but on second thought its not the forum for it nor the topic.. Sorry, this is not the post you are looking for....

Dyna

 Sorry ToN, didn't mean to make you reply to something I removed... I'll buy Canadian, I just wonder how they feel about having to pay Tariffs and exorbitant shipping on things they (Canadians) buy outside of Canada?

Call me a purist and I admit that I only looked at the front page of that ark amps website but I thought those were some of the most hideous cabinets I have ever seen. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

But geometrically it doesn't work, does it.  That is aesthetically.
