That's what I would be looking for, if that was your question.

...but the few that show up used, are generally pretty rough or complete beaters in poor shape. It's a cool looking amp but that doesn't guarantee great sonics. Have you heard one?
That was Mesa's short exploration into the hifi market - even though they were well received by the critics, it looks like it wasn't enough to make the long term commitment.
No, like you just read about it, and since I used to own some of their great bass amps, I was interested. They were few on Audiogon some ten years ago.

Last fall I was given a tour of the nearby Petaluma, California facility while delivering a 400+ for a couple of weeks at the spa. There was actually a Baron in use at one of the amplifier work stations.
From the sheets of plywood stacked at the two CNC cutting machines to the custom snake skin covering everything is done in house. A legendary level of quality and support at a reasonably competitive price. Mesa is proof that manufacturing in this country, let alone in California, can be profitable with skillful management.
No question:
Quicksilver 88 mono amps (80/channel)
RAM Labs (Roger Modjesky) RM200 at 100/channel. There would even be money left to have Rodger hand wind the transformers.
