Well, peeps do gig the HT-5!

should have pumped it up to £550 and put a good speaker in there

Just seems a shame to have the ball ache of buying a new speaker and then messing about with the amp to fit it which would probably void your warranty as these companies have got that in the small print
They could have had this bang on from the start. It's like buying a BMW and fitting remold tyres. Yeah it's only a £500 amp but that's put me off already
(& that was before I saw the crap speaker info !)
If the 70/80 IS really as bad as some state here and that view is held in other forums (without the coat tail effect) I shall be very surprised that Blackstar fitted it in such a 'prestigious' product?
The Rocket 50 is known to be poor and I have read unsolicited comments to that effect from players over The Pond but that is fitted in a budget 20W amp .
On the warranty front. I am sure there are many here who could change a speaker and then re fit the original with such care that nobody could tell! If the amp went back under warranty they MIGHT be suspicions but, short of evidence, buggered bolt heads say, it would be very hard to prove. You are allowed to change valves FCS and that often requires you to open up the amp. Fit the WRONG valve however and you are busted!
These tight-arsed clauses are put in warranties to guard against GROSS tampering. No tech wants to try to sort some one elses cockup! An example is the very draconian view about speaker loading. We all know a 4 R speaker on an 8R tap is very unlikely to cause harm, even toher way around (and B's amps are tougher than most ) but you HAVE to say it to protect yourself from loonies!

I wish there was a head option - maybe aimed at the studio brigade.
