New Blackstar HT "Venue" range

[Radioboy950]

Cool new stuff from Blackstar. Much more affordable than the Artisan or Series one lines. I like combos, and I'm glad they're offering a 20watter (http://www.blackstaramps.co.uk/products/ht-amps/ht-20.html). But I'm a little disappointed they're using a Celestian 70/80 speaker, which is not one of my favorite speakers. But maybe it works fine. I'd have to hear it in person. But the online demos sound pretty darn good.

They're interesting, but the price might be a bit much. They cranked up the price on their HT-5 series. The only price I could find for this was 449 British pounds, which would work out to $700 US.
