I always loved the look of the Sunn horn-loaded cabs:

I emailed to pry into their plans and said:
Hello!

Well, this is great news. Are you allowed to share any information about what direction you will be taking? Reissues of old tube or solid state amps? Fresh designs influenced by the old ones?

Many Thanks

Johnny Somersett
And their response was this:
Hi,

Thank you so much for supporting Sunn. We cannot share specific product details until the launch date on Aug 1, however I can tell you that all the amplifier types that you listed are covered 😊
....so I reckon some Beta Leads, 200S's and Model T's are likely.
Amazing. Beta Leads are so amazing, and way beyond the 1k mark these days.
I'm curious!

Unfortunately, there's no reason to believe these would necessarily be less expensive than that, or as amazing for that matter.

But one can hope.

11 Days left - and they're answering people's questions (live on youtube) if anyone of you has any... write them an email.

Well it's out now. Insane prices for the tube heads (+$3K) but $799 for the Beta Lead seems ok, street price will surely be even less.

To be fair, the specs are 100% high end stuff so that bodes well for future drops
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Yeah, it seems like they’re only planning to appeal to a small niche market with those prices. I doubt these will be too common in the wild.

Yeah, I’m not remotely interested in any of this.

Beta Lead with a 1x12 could be ideal for my gigging needs - thinking of something solid state but versatile after playing a few gigs recently where I really wish my Twin wasn't half as heavy. I'm getting old I guess...

That would be the obvious choice, but I'd quite like a different flavour of amp also to mix things up a bit
