If you can stretch to handwired, get it. If not, the custom classic series are still killer amps

I'd go hand wired again if I was going to get another :)

I'm feeling this gas too... very keen on a hand-wired AC15 when my tax return arrives in May.

I've got an AC15C1 and am very happy with it! Especially coz I got it for a bargain used, not even sure if my ears can tell the difference from a HW one, but if your budget permits then sure get the HW one :thumbup:

If you wanna try an AC30HW I've got one, although the 30 and 15 do sound a bit different. I'm assuming you want the 15 because of weight and size issues?

Yeah that's a deal! And I think those new ones have the built in power scaling too!

Thanks bro... yeah I don't seed the size, weight or power of the 30. I like the AC15/Blue sound and want to have some fun with 2 amps again... especially with the SD3000 :)

Stereo delays are great! If only I could convince our sound guy to get rid of a BV or something to create another channel on the desk!
There are plenty of AC15s around but with a Blue could be harder to find. Have you tried the standard Greenback version?

Green sounds good... Blue I like more. Perhaps I could wangle a green and find another speaker :)

I had a chance to A/B the standard Ac15 and the HW, both with Blue speakers. I thought the HW was quite a lot better, and the half power option is really handy.
