Lou, How does the Art pre-amp compare to the Speakeasy pre-amp? I know there is a big difference in price. Is it worth the difference in price?Have you compared the CX3 > Speakeasy pre-amp >Vent  and CX3 > Art tube pre-amp > Vent?
Thanks, Leo

Leo,

Yes, the setup I mentioned was my home setup and outdoor gig setup:  CX-3 -> Art pre-amp -> Vent -> PA.  I tried using the CX-3 directly into the Vent and it sounded terrible, especially with the Vent is in tremolo.  But with the tube pre-amp it sounded beautiful - night and day difference.  At my church gig, I use CX-3 -> Speakeasy pre-amp -> Leslie 145, and of course that sound like ... a real Leslie! :-)

As jjmcs49 mentions, if I was going to buy one today, I would go with the Tube MP.

Lou

Lou,
>Thanks for your reply. I have the later version CX3, but still find the top octave too shrill even after adjusting the EQ. I am still not clear as to which model to buy.
