I see they are still selling off 'kit parts' on ebay. I assumed this was actually parts for amp stock they never sold?

There's an Aux input that'd probably work. They also do a [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ba250h.htm"]250W version[/url] of the same head, and it's silly cheap:

+1. More trouble than they're worth

A guy over on talkbass put a hypex amp into a fEarful cabinet.
Hypex now do SMPS to go with these power amps, lots of power, low weight.[/quote]
Hypex modules are good. I can also recommend Coldamp, especially the [url="https://www.coldamp.com/store/pack-active-speaker-30.html"]active speaker pack[/url].

For those who haven't seen it, a couple of years ago I put together a small power amp for a fellow Basschatter for this very purpose.

Build thread can be found [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20284"]here[/url].

I have an unused B&O ICEpower 125asx module doing nothing if anyone's interested (originally inspired by Alien's mini power amp build) - bought it to install in my trace v-type preamp, but I just don't have the time or inclination at the minute. It's the same power amp used in the GK-MB500 and some of the EA stuff too (500 watts @ 4 ohms, 300 watts @ 8ohms from memory). VERY hard to get hold of - not usually sold to the public, not in the UK anyway.

I can pass that on for £160.[/quote]

Chevin amps rock. With the right lead you can bridge that to deliver 1.2K into 8ohms.
