This was the poster's best guess from an online pic. https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34565 Here's a pretty good pic I found from a search. bloomfield.jpg Also, here's a video from a fellow Amp Garage member. http...

Looks like he's endorsing them. I lose confidence rapidly when someone misspells the name of their "amp designer" (Jim Kelly instead of Jim Kelley)...sigh. Pricy stuff ! I may have spoke too soon.
