Mesa Boogie Tube amps interested in your thoughts


I just came across this beautiful dual mono tube amp. With big beautiful amber meters. This amp looks great, but I have never had a chance to listen to one. Any thoughts would be nice. Thanks

Are you referring to the Mesa Baron (uses KT-88 tubes) that runs in pentode and triode (and combinations thereof)?
Bojack - you've got the right company actually. Mesa at one point did however produce a couple audiophile home-audio amps - the "Mesa Baron" tube power amplifier, and the "Mesa Tigris" tube integrated amplifier are the only two I know of. I think they were introduced around '97? There are some reviews available for both on the web. I've never seen or heard either - they come up for sale here every once in a long while.
Yes, I've owned two Barons and two Tigris integrated in the past few years. The Baron is a monster tube amp that will drive about any speaker out there, but make sure the unit has had the upgrades done do it. Mesa still provides service and parts for these amps and they have somewhat of a cult following. They can be found on the 'Gon and Ebay for around $1500-$1700.
