    Hoping to wheel and deal enough to snag a matching 6 channel when they come out...

    Very interesting. What amps have you had that you could compare this one to?

    Idk. This might be an investment piece, I’m not sure yet. I’ve talked to Bernie a couple times, and watched his interview with Big D Wiz, and I was on board. The fact that there is a noise floor the rivals some home amps is impressive, and a built in 150 watt fuse says there is some power there. The interview was interesting to hear about the mistakes he’s made, and how he’s improved his design on each amp since then. I actually bought wheelieking’s Boland 2150B, and Bernie asked me if I wanted him to upgrade it to the few tweets he’s found since that 1 year old amp has been in production! The fact that Bernie answered the phone, asked me where I lived, was I a stereo guy from way back, what my set up was, etc. tells me this will be a lot like Andy’s customer service, which is worth the price to me. Bernie actually led me to this other amp based on me running my subs at 1 ohm, instead of 2 ohm.

    Andy actually had me send one of my GB60’s to him bcuz the allen screw that held the speaker wire was stripped. He drilled it out and mailed it back to me, no problem. Said he’s been meaning to redesign those terminals. Those are the main reasons I run the equipment I have at the moment. Ive figured out that I’m not the competitor type (too much sitting around), and I’d rather hear a crazy dynamic system than more of a flat signal, so my system is being set up for the way I like to punish it.

    Looks like a big girl you have there. Let us know how you like it.
    They might say "don't try this at home" but nothing about not trying it at your friend's house.

    Wow! This Boland Audio thing has turned into a major clusterfuck!!! Thankfully, I received my amp, but I believe it might have been the last one out the door before the shutdown! From the way things are shaping up, Mr. Boland seems to be quite a piece of work...

    When I listened to the 12V Talk Podcast with Bernie I kinda got the shyster vibe. Sorry to hear that my gut was right.

    Apparently, Bernie didn’t pay rent for 3 months, landlord locked the building, his business partner (Munish) is out about $1M. A couple neutral parties were allowed in to collect owed repair amps, and ship possibly finished amps. Bernie was apparently living there, had some personal items that should have probably never been shown on the internet, amps were all in disarray, etc. Now, blame is being dished out everywhere except on Bernie’s shoulders. Every day, it seems the mess gets bigger and bigger. 74 amp backlog of people who paid up to 2 years ago, and can’t get their money back from CC company due to how long ago payment was made. There has been a “Not” Boland Audio FB page made, because Bernie is using the main Boland page to slander everyone but himself. What a mess!!!
