Suhr Reactive Load vs line out

[hdiddy]

got mine finally , wow sounds great. I compared it to the Rupert never direct box and a load. The srl sounds like they took off a blanket !! Have yet to try it vs line out of an amp. Was wondering if any compared the srl to a line out from an attenuators or an amp with a direct out

So my live direct setup (for a church) was my amp with a swart night light attenuated all the way to keep stage volume down, with the line out going to a two notes torpedo CAB, and I traded the night light out for the suhr RL. Basically, holy crap what a difference. Similar reaction to your post- like a blanket was taken off. The RL is so much more dynamic and natural than the line out of the night light. It's seriously like night and day. Bouncy and punchy and it feels as close to a real amp as I've encountered. The line out was fine, but it always felt two dimensional and dynamically flat. The RL is the exact opposite.
