I agree with Carl, but would add that there is a relatively rare and
much sought after TNY version which would command the higher end of
Carl's price range if not a bit higher. As a matter of trivial
interest, I might point out that the TNY version of the amp is named
after a former Mr. Ohio body builder who is currently a not-so-well
known rock band member. I have more details, but have been sworn to
secrecy. :-}
