    Man I love big VU meters - Proton D1200

    These types of two stage "rockets" only impress ppl when they have not figured out yet, that the B++ responds AFTER the demand for larger headroom has been a fact (doh!) ... ;) but the Proton AA-1150/D-1200 do both sound nice, and i like the dual mono layout :thmbsp:
