Mickeyf - I would hope that you are implying that the high praise review is "marketing spin" and not the fact Ian Grant being sick creating the heavily discounted prices....
Crwindy - I have only heard the Rita @ GF's location and it sounded wonderful. I have never owned one nor have any of my friends so I cannot speak to the reliability factor. Given it is a very large amp and weighs a ton and if required to be serviced would cost quite a bit for freight I would investigate deeper into owner's impressions and experiences before taking the plunge. It is built like a brick $_it house! If memory serves me right the RITA has had a number of positive reviews however you weigh their value.
