Hey Tony
I am actually on the list to get a pair so I sure hope it's just a great sounding unit. That said, I think you misunderstand my point.
There are all sorts of GREAT sounding units that are equally as hot and hyped. To me that is not a negative really. When something new comes out people get exited, that's human nature right?
The real test of how good a unit is is how long it lasts after the hype. I look at the Great River MP-2NV as a good example of that, or the EL Distressor. Both units that have transcended the hype to become legendary but there is no doubt about it each had it's day in the hype machine.
Again, I don't think it is a negative that the MA5 is getting a lot of hype and it is pretty darm hard to deny that it isn't hyped pretty big right now.
In the end the hype means nothing at all, it's about how good the unit sounds and all the hype in the world isn't going to change that outcome.
