The original 220 is a great little amp. I still have one. I bought it in about 1984. I still use it from time to time. They come up fairly often. You should be able to get one fairly cheap if you wanted to.
Hafler 220a
Anyone familiar with this amp? Is this essentially a 220 or really a new model.
I ask for two reasons. I used to own a Hafler DH 200 and liked the sound, so I am thinking of getting another with an eye toward modding in the future. However, and this brings up the second point, I am somewhat skeptical about 'newer' hafler amps. It seems like these are really geared toward a professional setting or even musicians. This worries me because very often the amp sound for a HT and the amp a musician uses at a gig is really a different beast (or so I understand). So I really have no interest in something that is essentially a pretty Peavey, I would be very interested in a version of the original 220.
I checked the forum records and it seems that no one has ever written about this amp before. So hopefully this isn't a dead subject.
