[harvey said...] They do have merits, although they will be in the "solid-state versus vacuum tube" argument stage forever. Or, until there is only one option to discuss, whichever occurs first. [birkett said...] Laminated sbs are not actually the "solid-state version of real spruce". [end of sayings...] Bad analogy on my part, or certainly the wrong choice of word chaining. I didn't mean to imply that sandwich boards were the solid state version of real spruce; only that the -argument- about the two would likely continue to thrive in much the same way that audiophiles and guitar players discuss the merits/deficiencies of solid state versus tube amplifiers. BTW, what goes round comes round. There was a time that young folks thought vacuum tubes were a new invention. Now that this is no longer true, I heard the other day that most vacuum tubes were currently being made in Russia ...? -Jim Harvey
