Default Anyone try the new Fishman SA330x?

Like how the expander is only $149. This is a big deal to those of use that use the typical 1 ch systems. I am wondering what the volume is like? Looks like a great system although a little sloppy looking. I prefer to have cables down low and behind. Probably not a deal breaker.

Here is Greg Koch giving us the rundown.

Here's a thread I started with my demo of the product.

I picked up an SA330X the other day - had a 15% off coupon.

Sounds great except for one thing - it has a bad rattle/buzz when I hit a low F# or middle F# on my guitar. Very similar to the bad rate buzz that the Line 6 Stagesource L2t speaker had.

Up close when I was playing it didn't sound ultra clear, but in the audience (local grille) it sounded crystal clear according to some good friends. I didn't think that that low end was as good a my Bose Compact, but as sion as i stepped out and listened to the break music it sounded just as good (Bose goes down to 65hz while the SA330 goes down to 71hz)

The next day while at a gig, it sounded very good and perfect bass (except that dang rattle) - but I performred standing and was a little further away/in front.

I'm going to have to exchange mine for a non rattling unit - def makes a good addition to my Bose Model 2, Bose Classic and Compact units... (And my Line 6 L2t's and L3t...)

Update... Exchanged for a rattle free unit!

Thumbs down sa220

I tried one of these the other day. It is the older model. I currently use a loudbox artist so I took it with me to compare the two. All it took was about 3 minutes to pack up my stuff and artist to head home. Very disappointed. I really like Fishman products but, this did not impress me at all.
