not too expensive, if u ask me

OK..... but what does it sound like? If it's just a repackaged PM3 then I'm not interested. The best thing about the PM3 is the little monitors, the rest of it is a repackaged KC-500.

My $ .02 worth !

Actually, I do. Unfortunately they have a policy which prevents me from revealing exactly what they pay me. And the formula is rather complicated. I can share that with you in it's most basic form...

keep in mind that Roland new products ship 6-12 months after they introduce them in the USA.

I just saw the new TDA-700 listed on Musicians Friend's website for $846.

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/...base_id/82956.

Sounds like a reasonable price compared to the wimpy PM-3. It also says that it is in stock. I'm waiting for my local Mars Music to get one in so that I can hear it for myself. I had a KC-500 to use and found it to sound pretty crappy. I'm hopeful this new amp can create some sound that's finally something I'd want to listen to without the headphones. Probably just wishful thinking, though.

[cpgrossman]

well...in the meantime i got a pair of eon g1's for $400 so im set for now.

[Marvin Mason]

Are you happy with the sound? Are you still wearing your cans with them? Where are you controlling the EQ?

I'm a bit skeptical of the wimpy, mid-range sound quality that comes out of so many small amp speakers.

[cpgrossman]

There a lot of posts about eon's so look them up. when I played thru my friends g2's, I just loved them. and a few days later my old ladys band leader sold us his g1's. I dont think their mid rangy at all. With 2 15's they have plenty of kick.(In fact I dont see how people want subs)cant set them up in my apt,yet.
