NAD: Rectoverb 25

[elvis]

Got me a RV25 today. A bit different from my MR, but still rockin'. I'll have to put some time on it this week to choose some settings.

Have fun Elvis

Look forward to a tone report when you're done with making noise!

Combo or head?

Also, how is it different?

Heads haven't started shipped yet - which will be a few more weeks. FWIW, the ROV25 is identical to the MR25, with the addition of Reverb - much of the perceived difference is related to the new Fillmore 75 speaker. Thanks!

I can't wait to hear a good A/B recording of that Fillmore speaker vs the Boogie V30. I was going to buy 2 Creambacks to mix in one of my cabs but I'll wait until I hear Mesa's latest before blowing any more money.

That's what I thought. A fellow over at TGP demo'd a ROV25 next to a Mini Rec with the matching Mini cab and claimed the new amp seemed to be a "fire breather" by comparison. Myself and a few others attributed it to the different speakers as well as the combo having an open back.

Thanks for confirming that.

No kidding.

A 2 x 12 Rectocab with Fillmore speakers sounds like it would be a very non fizzy and tasteful option!

I'm posting a review separately - stay tuned!
