ok, embarresed admition coming up :blush: i only skim read that post and assumed he was talking about BK... whoops! anyway, i've e-mailed them now to see if they can help. considering other options as well. when things are sorted there will be a thread to share. and finally. "600 watts is a bit too much and so is the price!" i thought the exact oposite, 'i suppose 600w will do, especially at that price!'

[quote name='stevie' post='311198' date='Oct 21 2008, 12:00 PM']This company is a world leader in the field of Class D amps: [url="https://www.hypexshop.com/"]https://www.hypexshop.com/[/url] - and they actually design and make the gear themselves. What's more, they cater to the DIY community (hurrah!). The tests I've read on Hypex plate amps have all been extremely positive.[/quote] yes, i'm fully aware of this it's precisely why i ordered one

just got off the phone to bkelec. was told that the supplier for the parts of that unit have gone out of buisness and that BK wont be making the module anymore. with re. to the poor customer service she answered everything (failed promises, not returning messages etc) with 'wel all i can do is apologize' in what can only be described as the most non-apologetic maners ever... p!ssed off is an understatement. as not only have i waited nearly 2 months for nothing. my plans now seem to have gone out the window as i can't find anyone who offers a similar product

thats just divine! and looks soooo much classier with the scratchplate!

beautifull!

after almost a month wait i started ringing them. usually to answer phone though i have got through on occasions. every time, i've talked to the secretary and said i ordered a 600w amp module and get 'oh yeah! i think i remember you ordering!' (every time). tell her that it's been a very long time and i've heard nothing. first time i rang she said she'd get right on finding out whats happening with it and will ring me back later that day. nothing. next time i get through she says she thinks she remembers hearing something about trouble sourcing parts. but will check and get back to me the next day. nothing. third time i get through (last week) i was quite irrate, i remind of the many messages i've left and the empty promises to keep me up to date and ask to speak to someone else. get told that everyones out but they will call me as soon as they can. nothing. outside of the 3 times i've got through, i've left at least 2 messages a week. i have not recieve a single call from them, and the only clue i have as to whats going on is the one phonecall where the secretary THINKS she remembers SOMETHING about parts. but not confirmed. needless to say i'm not happy. if it wasn't for the fact that this is the only place i can find the right product, with the right specs, at the right price i would have taken my money back long ago..

with BK though be prepared for a quiet and long wait. i ordered mine 2 months ago, and communication has been near impossible..

i quite like the primer look! leave it like that and save a bit of money
