Anyone played one of these new Vox AC30’s yet? They moved production from Milton Keynes (Marshall amps) to China to cut down on costs (what else?) and of course pass those savings onto the consumers, But they dont seem to be all that much cheaper, the old AC30 fitted with Blue alnico speakers retailed at around £1099, the new one is with the blues is £849 a saving of £250, but if you add in the fact that the Celestion Blues are no longer made in UK (i think it was the last surviving brit made Celestion) but it also is made in China, and considering the brit made Blues were £189 each to replace, then the saving doesnt seem to be that much, im sure the chinese can make these like they can every other Celestion speaker for around £55 each, makes you wonder where all the savings went?, ive yet to play one but i have my suspicions about quality control, and component quality too.
