Crazy price for archon 50 on the gear page

You never know though. I bought a really cheap plum Archon 25 and it turned out to be a disaster. The pictures looked great but the amp had been tinkered with by the prior owner and sounded like ass. I noticed a transformer had been replaced and some wiring had been done. Thank god the seller took it back (I bought it from a pawn shop).
 
That stinks. Should have been a great amp. Now that I have the 50, I'm convinced that I missed out on a great deal and a great amp when I passed on that purple/tan Archon 25 combo. I didn't fall for it immediately like I did the 50 head, but I know from experience that I don't love that speaker. That 25 combo with an ET65 or better yet, a Scumback M or J... forget about it!

I'm so conviced, that now that I've got all the heads I need, I will eventually be looking for a combo and an Archon will be on the list.
