Yet another thing to consider are the company's costs of employees, such as healthcare, 401k / retirements etc. Fully-loaded costs add 30 - 40 % above wages. Sorry, can you tell I am an accountant? :)

Anyway, back to the original topic, I am intrigued by the lack of need for reverb. I have had 3 vintage VibroChamps. Two were '73's, latest is a '65. The first VC was awsome, should never have sold it. Got the urge for another, but that one just didn't have "it", so it went down the pike. The '65 is noticeably better than either '73.

I also have a Dr Z Maz18, which sounds and looks fantastic. Only thing it lacks is temolo. But really it's too much for home. That's all I play. But I like the larger speaker, so was considering selling everything to get a blackface Princeton. Had been thinking Reverb, but I wonder...

I think you'll find that the Princeton Reverb gets "beefier" more quickly due to the extra gain provided by the recovery stage. I have both (an '80 non-verb Princeton and a '65 Princeton Reverb) and that's been my observation. Of course, dimed they're very similar to one another.
