Leo,

The only reason I use a Speakeasy pre-amp today is because it has an output that matches the Leslie 145's input (making it look like a real Hammond is driving the Leslie amp).  One time before I had the Art Tube pre-amp, I did run the line out of the Speakeasy into the Vent for an outdoor gig.  In my estimation, it was not any better of a sound than the Art Tube pre-amp offered.  It would have had to make an enormous difference in sound to convince me to spend the extra money for a Speakeasy pre-amp.

Will you be using your setup for recording?  If not, and you will be mostly using your setup for live performance and practice, I would definitely use the Art Tube pre-amp.  I think PA speakers will modify the sound much more than a pre-amp.

Lou
