I agree with you. I picked up my Royal almost two months ago and haven't left my amp alone in a long time. I just play and play with grins and happy feelings.
I also love that the amp isn't apart of the usual fashion-craze that some amplifiers go through. I'm sincerely hoping Mesa just discontinues the amp sooner than later. I get a lot of compliments on my tone and the clarity of my gain sounds and I would like that vibe to remain uniquely mine!
You and I are the few.

They claim the MKV is dead on the IIC and it is not, and they claim the IIC owners are overpaying tone snobs.
Does that really sound like the kinda guys that would come out with a great amp on it's own, that also nails the MKIIC?
I have played a few of the Atlantic family of amps, great amps btw. I own a MKIIC. They seem a bit different, probably complementary.

With respect, I don't think your logic is that feasible. The MKV came out three years before the RA, and since Mesa was on record as touting the MKV as possessing the MKIIC sound -- then I'm not at all surprised that Mesa's so-called "spin doctors" aren't stating that their newer offering, the RA-100, is capable of such sounds. It would be bad marketing and would promote more confusion than excitement. They know the MKV is selling like hotcakes. Why would they do anything to jeopardize that?
