Pretty cool.
Application for steel...hmmm...

Hooking one of these up to a pedal steel would be like putting 22" custom wheels on a Yugo! (LOL!)

Notice no price immediately available? If ya gotta know how much it costs, ya can't afford it.

MSRP is $13,000.

For surround steel, I'd use 4 Bose PAS cylinders with 1 B1 bass module, and a couple of Pod Xt Pro units for preamps. Only $8,493 at MF.

Bobby Lee, have you tried the Bose Cylinder with your steel?....if so would you recommend it over the traditional amp?....I'm thinking about getting one and just wondering if it will work well.

Thanks,

Delbert

Elegant audiophile pap.
Must sound great.

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby...you couldn't run a classic piece of gear like this through a solid-state Bose. That would be sacrilege!

You'd be excombooberated by the tubeheads!

Better to use a pair of these amps...

And, a pair of these speakers...

Those Devotion amps are a pair, putting out 12 watts for only $9500? That's only $791.67 per watt! There's a deal for you.
