Thanks for your input guys! It really helps. All good and valid points.

I have been talking with a former 11R owner via PM that now has the Axe using version 11b and he says it has a 3D quality that the 11R just does not have. Maybe it is the IR's that they use or that they have two DSP chips that affords the unit that openness that a tube amp has.

I am on the waiting list for the Atomic CLR speakers and they will add up to 2,000 dollars. Yikes you say! Add the Axe price with a controller and I am up to 5K... Got a gun I can use on our next bank job?

When I first met my wife she said "Use the right tools for the right job".

Thanks for your informed help!

Best regards,
Robert
