Boulder amp from hell...

[amirm]

If I am not mistaken, looks like the corner of your house is sagging by a few degrees. Nothing like needing winches to lift amplifiers....

Boulder should give you at least one winch free!

Boulder should give you at least one winch free!

Or provide a gym membership with the purchase.

Kettle Block Training has a nice ring to it.

To be fair, they also showed and played their much smaller mono blocks:

No doubt made from the filings produced in the production of the big ones. Adam and Eve.

Has anyone heard this? Comments on the sound? Comparison to the 2060 stereo (which i have heard) is appreciated. Thanks!

 

[amirm]

I have only seen the box. I suspect at this CES they will have it on.

 

[LL21]

thanks for all the info, Wizard! I note the Wilson Alexandrias in the corner!

You could probably buy another amp for the cost of that meta crate.

Who wants to be the one to tell him he reversed the right and left amplifiers?

 

[treitz3]

They are mono blocks......

 

[lasercd]

Yes I know but if you look at all of Boulder's promotional photos and the ones from the factory you will notice they are positioned the other way.

It was a joke.

 

[treitz3]

Hello, lasercd. Please forgive me being direct. The joke went over my head like a 747.

Carry on...

Wizard.
Are the 3050's as big as the Electrocompaniet Enigma was, or are they smaller, or about the same?

Edit:
Yes.. I assume most people did not know that Electrocompaniet made such big amplifiers?
Well. They usually don't.
Enigma consisted of 8 or was it 16 stacked (Bridged?) Ampliwire amplifier boards, So basically 4 Nemo's into one chassis...
powered by an absolutely insane powersupply, using no less than 8 transformers and other stuff.
This unit was one box, and a stereo unit. You could buy these beasts for ca 100.000$ about 10 years ago, I think it was.
I don't think it went into regular production. It was simply too big, at the time. But times have changed!!!
Just look at the 3050's! They're equally insane, must be!

They sure are pretty to look at! And decidingly massive to say the least!
That design of the heat sink...it almost looks like the surface of a CD under a scanning microscope...
I'm thinking that's the idea... :b

Wadia 922, Boulder Ref pre and Boulder 3050 monos...which speakers? looks like with separate stereo tower subs?

 

[treitz3]

Hello, Wizard and thanks for the pictures. You had mentioned that Jeff Nelson from Boulder was there to install them. I'm wondering why that would be the case. Wouldn't they hook up just like any other amplifier? Basically, I'm wondering why he was there. Would you be so kind as to comment on this, please?

 

[RBFC]

He gets a write-off trip abroad....

I think it is German Physics The Gaudi MK II loudspeakers.

You can tell by the swing arm assembly and the speaker umbilical just below the arm. That's unique to ONLY that loudspeaker.

Those Boulder 3050's are insane in a positive way

Very nice indeed, those are some speakers I would truly enjoy to hear.
