That would be paying less than us in Europe. I wouldn't trust that quote too much.
Not when you take our 20% VAT off. Equates to roughly what we're paying here give or take a few $

Do you need more volume? If so rewire the cab otherwise forget about it!Would you advice to change the wiring of my cabinets to 4 ohm (each channel) to get more power out of the Matrix? But if I do so, I have an 800 Watt amp for a 240 Watt cabinet. Isn't this a bit too much for the speakers?
And Theres a Matrix Forum on the way too - I know cos they've asked me to moderate it.
I'm sure it's a great sounding amp but... Matrix seriously needs to rethink the look of the front panel. When you put it with another amp you can really see the difference. I'm having a hard time getting past the little Mackie looking EQ knobs they have used. Also the color seams a little on the grey side. I do like the layout of the back panel though, just say'n.
I used to use the return of my Marshall head to amplify my Axe for years now. After joining a second band I had to look for a better solution because I don't like to carry the hole stuff between the rehearsal places two times a week. After checking out a lot of SS amps I bought a Velocity 300. It has a nice punch, is loud enough and not expensive. Unfortunatly it is a heavy weight unit.
Out of curiosity I ordered a GT800FX. I've been highly sceptical but this is an amazing piece of gear. It's 1/3 weight of the Velocity 300, has balls and it sounds much more transparent without being harsh. I like it a lot.
Here are some pix comparing the sizes of Velocity 300 and GT800FX:

Dave: could you elaborate a bit on the comparison of sound between the V300 and the GT800? I'm really curious about this.
Thanks.

Actually, that was one of the reasons why I was attracted to the Matrix... it looked professional compared to the Rocktron. The Rocktron looks cheap by comparison. (to me) Just say'n...
I HATE YOU ALL OF YOU !!!
Yesterday I made my order for the GT800FX ! :mrgreen
