the difference between the two but don’t see another $4K justified to get that over the 2203 in hand
Price was set years ago on Soldano's amps. Mike S prolly made prices what they were on his amp because that was the cost for him to build a boutique amplifier. Versus Marshall, a major corporation, with purchase ability to build Marshalls cheaper and thus have an easier pricetag for the consumer. Time moved on and the Soldano name lives in infamy and the price continues to be the price because of the name. I am sure BAD can build the amp cheaper now than Mike S ever could/can. That’s just more profit for them. Imagine if the new SLO100s came out as 1000 bucks cheaper? Everyone would think… huh, china, Vietnam, Timbuktu ? The smaller versions of the mighty SLO 100 allows the “want ins” to the SLO club with the reduced watt, lunchbox and tiny heads. Just my two dollar sense.
