"5:25 - A definite upgrade over the 1x10 subway series amps. Surprising headroom out of the clean channel and the lead/burn channel really does rip as stated in another post. However, I found the sound to be too boxy. Overall I didn't really like this amp in the 1x10 combo form factor. On the other hand, it would really shine with a larger sized cab. So I'd recommend the head unit to use with your choice of cabs.
Grade: B+
5:50 - This is where it's at. Took the F-50 and raised it to another level. When I started playing this amp, it seems like all of the employees and customers in the store stopped what they were doing and circled around to hear this great amp. The cleans are very reminiscent of the Lonestar Classic with a bit more bite. The reverb is wet and silky (like a fender vibro king). In addition to the LS series amps, this is only the second amp I've come across where you can just plug your axe in and get a great sound w/o effects or pedals.
The lead/burn channel - this is the channel they should have put into the Lonestars. Searing liquid leads (ala Mark IV)..and the crunch has a Stilleto Ace character to it.
Grade: A+ "
Et pour les prix US:
"5:50 is $1149 & $1199 in the U.S. for the head & combo, respectively.
The 5:25 is $999 & $1049 head & 1x10 combo, respectively"
Moins de 1000 dollars le combo !
Ca laisse rêveur les prix... C'est le tarif où on touche un Marshall en France. On a l'impression que Mesa, c'est quasiment du moyen gamme aux Etats Unis. En France, ça va sortir à 1600 euros.

C'est vrai que Mesa me semble très cher par rapport aux marques comme Soldano, VHT, Bogner et autres qui vendent beaucoup moins d'amplis et sont par conséquent plus exclusifs.
C'est comme une marque de voitures dont les tarifs seraient ceux de Ferrari, mais qui produirait autant que Renault ou Volkswagen...
