Phantom Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Cheers for that John. I am reluctant to hijack this thread but I would be looking at an integrated amp, so if people have pics to show that would be great,along with any opinions of course Edit: I have heard very good things about Earle's Weston Acoustics gear but he's booked out for like 18 months or something yeah??
