I agree - no controversy here.leels1 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2024 1:41 pm The purchaser must have been keen. The last few bids were against themselves.
I’m going to be controversial here. Although I don’t own an EMG, I do collect soundboxes. I have some Experts and EMGs and have to say, I prefer the Meltrope II. Don’t know why, but the sounds range seems greater, and that’s fiddling a lot with the setup of all types.
I prefer my 'B.R.O.S.' sound-box and the 'HMV 18'. The two Meltrope II's I have I prefer too.
I tend to like EMG sound-boxes not because of their sound but because I think they are like 'works of art'. Lovely engineering.
I know this is very subjective and there are 'sound charts' which show how great EMG's are but, as you say, individual preference.
