Re: Mesa Boogie 295 Stereo Power Amp

To this day, the Strategy 500 remains possibly the loudest amp I've ever stood in front of, connected to 4 412 cabs. I shared a rehearsal room with a guy who had one, and we hooked it all up with our cabs and his JMP-1 preamp.

Back in the day, Smith built an amp for the audiophiles group, ala Phase Linear, etc. All tube, and they just killed. For the life of me, I can't remember the name.

Can't really imagine what you would use the Strategy for now...bass? PA?

These are dual-purpose amps, btw....yep...they can heat your house in the winter! LOL.

What's funny is that this is a 2 year old thread that I started, someone necro'd it, then I responded to it a couple posts back as if someone else had started it! ROFL!!!!!

FWIW I went with the 2:90 lol.

I'm looking to swap a 295 down to a 50/50 or 20/20. Killer amp, but just too big for me now, need less watts and weight!

I use TriAxis & 2:90 with two Thiele cabinets at one bar - loud, heaps of head room...

I like it for that bar, but it is too loud for another (Smaller) club!

ROFL I can't believe this thread was resurrected again. I actually just recently got rid of my Tri and 2:90 =D.
