All sold out, and have not had replacements made. Most of my sub customers all want servo subs.

Hi Danny and all Audio Circle members.

What about your customer(s) like me that don't want servo amplifier, but still want to buy amplifiers from you?

Introducing a new product and then shortly after discontinuing it is not good. (For us.)

Is it O.K. if I consider the purchase of a Dayton or Kiega amplifier for my next V2 or can we use the Rythmik A370PEQ and disable the servo circuit?

Anxiously awaiting your comments.

Ordering another 200 amps is a big expense especially now that our US dollar has lost a lot of value since I ordered the last batch of amps. And then it took a long time to go through those amps all the while selling many more servo amps. I guess the market is flooded with cheap Chinese made plate amps.

I have a lot of new projects in the works that involve huge expenses in new drivers that include 8" servo subs, more 12" servo subs, and new 6.5" woofers.... So I have to be careful as to what I tie up funds in. I have to tie up funds in products that turn quickly and the SA-1 amp (even though it was unique) just was not a fast mover.

Welcome back to your home, Guy 13 - I hope Spring comes quickly for you.

Every business has slow moving products that must be discontinued and GR is no different.  As Danny states, there is a plethora of cheap plate amps out there.  I'd advise you to watch the Parts Express monthly sales as they frequently have good specials on plate amps - from their cheapest to their best.

I hate to ask this Q here, but are there any other choices for sub/sub plate amps (I guess from other supliers (sorry about this Q(again))) that will mirror the output shape of the SA-1 amp, now that it is no longer available?

Here in Canada, one of the best places to deal with is in BC (Creative Sound Solutions) where you can find good 300w or 500w BASH amps.  I have a few for my DIY projects.
