Prices have gone up?
That's more than the 5:50 1 x 12 combo that I bought on Sunday.

Yep the prices are going to increase on Feb 1 or there abouts. Judging from the increase on the 5:25 it looks to be ~17% increase.

WOW!! :shock:
so no more entry level Mesas for under a grand . . .
i dont wanna get into economic-political discussion here, but how they wanna to people buy something if they're rising prices like that?? :?
i mean, a MkIV combo with all the bells and whistles sure worth more than a grand, but a Express design?? a simple 2 channel amp??? :roll:

Calling it simple is an understatement. It's not like a **** Hot Rod Deluxe or something. A Supersonic is $1089 and the 5:50 does way more than a supersonic. I'd venture to say the 5:25 does a lot more than a AC15 with a Blue in it for only a little more coin (and probably a much better built product.)
5:25 was never under a grand, anyway, was it?

lemme clarify . . . i call it simple compared to another 2 ch. Mesas amps, for say like the Stiletto, that has way more bells and whistles than the Express (3 modes per ch, bold/spongy option, 2 types of retification, solo function, etc), hence it's higher price tag.
but i really dont see a reason to an Express be so expensive, but well, maybe it's just me :wink:

You're right, they're not cheap. They're about equally priced with the competition, though.
Keep in mind that the competition looks like they were built out of parts bought at a shopping mall!

I think they are priced about where they should be in the market. They are under the Super-Sonic and offer way more, and they are about the same as a Rivera Clubster, which they do compare well with.
