Sitting on the fence regarding the Richter Supra-Luxe 30w and the Tungsten Crema Wheat. The Richter is a 5e3 with more headroom etc, very touch sensitive etc. The Tungsten is a 5e3 hybrid of sorts( the demo on his site is drool worthy)Both p to p, finger joint pine cabs, top components etc. Please share thoughts as it's getting real uncomfortable sitting on this fence and I'm gonna jump soon. Thanks in advance.

No experience with the Richter amps, but I played through a Tungsten 2x10 Super in a store a while back, very drool-worthy indeed. Unfortunately, the wallet disagreed, at $1500... ouch! The Richter line is very well-thought of here, so I don't think you'll have any problems there. Let your heart (and maybe wallet) decide this one...

Thank you all. I've been watching both the Richter videos and the Craig V. Tungsten Crema Wheat video for a couple weeks now and that's what makes the decision so difficult. They're both great amps. The Tungsten is a tad more $, but that sound. Anyway, thanks and keep any thoughts coming.
