We're talking about why the MG's have such bad reputation...Alpeggio wrote:Also, we are talking about the 100w version aren't we, and I'm talking about the latest Carbon model, upgraded by Santiago.
I used to teach someone with the old MG15 and I didn't like it at all. That's a different thing entirely.
I for one can contribute because it doesn't sound good at all... however, I got that opinion with the old MG's, not the Carbon model... so I admit that the MG's today may sound a lot better then they used to...
But in my mind, that's the answer to the initial question... the MG's have such bad rep because so many people tried it 10-15-20 years ago (don't know when they first came to the market?) and made up their mind then that the MG is crap... such bad impression is hard to turn...
Just like myself... I was initially not biased towards MG, but did not like what I heard at all...
Today, as you mention, the MG is upgraded by Santiago and we have the Carbon MG... but today I am biased. Why should I bother to try one out anyway? I think perhaps, if the MG is so good today, which it weren't, then they should have released the Carbon model without the MG in it's name... 'Marshall Carbon' would do...
