Official page

$150 list.

SPA-1 [perhaps when they introduced the 50 watt version later, they renamed this to "SPA-25".]

Handles levels up to 25 watts. Amplifiers are power rated before clipping and are capable of producing almost double the power when distorted. The SPA-1 also can be used as a record output from larger amps (over 25 watts) if the speaker volume is not attenuated. No battery required. A ground-isolated Record Out jack is provided to go directly from your 8 ohm speaker. This is selectable to provide either a "smooth" 4x12 cab or a "brite" 2x10 cab sound. $149.95 list.
