These were crazy prices before, people might actually buy them now.
Admittedly I haven't read all the reviews and youtube reports but if my JTM assumption is correct I'd buy them all day long at anything under £800....

If the colours aren't to your liking... Andertons claim to have an exclusive on black ones...

I'm truly not surprised they haven't sold at that money.
Even a JCM800 reissue is advertised at £1600 many places...
And I don't understand why anyone would pay £1600 for a JCM800 reissue when you can *EASILY* find the real thing for less!
Whether they are big sellers compared to everything else on offer, I have absolutely no clue or hard data!
I'll have a listen later.
(Edit)
Hmmm… it's OK I suppose, although there is an irritating transient 'clack' sound in the picking attack, and a buzz that overlies the notes and then cuts off abruptly as they decay. But most of all, it just doesn't sound really like a Marshall. I don't really know what it *does* sound like… if I didn't know what it was I would have no idea.
Sorry, but it's a fail for me.

I was at Musicmesse the year they launched. I walked over to the Marshall booth eager to hear them only to find that all the amps weighed about 1kg as they were just shells. No actual sounds in sight! The Marshall guy then popped along and I asked the price to which he replied "in line with the boutique amps out there today". I knew then this was gonna fall on it's arse, especially with the,erm, different? Styling.
I also asked him him whether they were anymore 'boutique' than any old made in England Marshall prior to production mainly moving to china, to which he couldn't reply.....
