Where does the Royal Atlantic rate in terms of the "British/Marshall" sound? I thought that was the Mesa amp that hit that mark the closest. I did play a Stiletto a few times, but it left me wanting more.Totally killer amps. The most Marshall of all Mesas, in my experience. Which is why so many people
ended up kind of hating them and they didn't last all that long in production. Been a theme for Boogie
when it comes to nailing the exact Mesa British recipe.
The Stilletto also seemed to have 15 revisions during it's short run and that made it super confusing to pick one and be happy with it. Is it the duce the trident the ace the V2? I don't even know if I got that right. Too many iterations of the same thing.Totally killer amps. The most Marshall of all Mesas, in my experience. Which is why so many people

Yeah, I can't even remember which one I played. It was a 100 watt head, I think. Maybe a Duece...?
Yeah I think there was 50, 100 and 150 watt (ace, deuce, trident) versions. I do think there was a V2 as well for each of these? So searching for info on model differences and used ones that come up just make it easy to keep walking past them.
Up until the later Marks though (maybe the IV, but definitely the V, and beyond), all those old amps you need a freaking spreadsheet (where's Stone? Lol) to keep straight. At least in my mind. Heck I still can't remember what DRG, etc. means.
I doubt they'll keep the prices as low as they are on amps once they do.
Yeah I never even pulled the DRG and other Mark differentiator acronyms into my brain. Too dumb and too much $ for me for most of my life to even worry about it. I'm already set on the MW side of thingsUp until the later Marks though (maybe the IV, but definitely the V, and beyond), all those old amps you need a freaking spreadsheet (where's Stone?

And then there's all the Recto revisions. Which I still say screw em all; just get a 100 watt MW and be done with it. I've never heard any of those early variants sound noticeably better than my MW. And the MW is vastly more versatile. But I digress...
With any luck; I should have some good V30s to use with it by weekend's end 
Too funny. I thought I was hearing things.
Bogner Helios as someone on another forum pointed out. Save $400 and likely have better components as well.
Same. I want all of them, but that's "kid's first car" money (not "dad's last amp" money.)
Yes I'm sure. Look at the amps. Listen to the demos where they explain the mods. No added tube gain stages in either the 1959HW or the 2203x. Could there be some other cap values engaged? Maybe. They are definitely engaging Diodes or Transistors regardless.
