Had been thinking about obtaining a Henriksen Bud 10 for those small gigs where I don't want to even bring the Bose system to cover guitar and vocals. I stumbled upon a used Genzler Acoustic Array Pro in mint condition at my local GC, so I brought it home for the evaluation period. I am completely blown away by how good my 7 string sounds through this thing. It's a tiny bit bigger than a Bud 10 and 7 pounds heavier, coming in at 27lbs. Has a speaker stand cup built in underneath and a few more output configurations. Pretty much the same configuration on the input side, with a couple exceptions.
I'd like to try this against a Bud 10, but the only way to do that is to buy one and ship it back on my dime if I don't like it. Anyone ever try both of these amps side by side, or owned both at one time or another? I'd be interested in your experience.

I have owned several Genzlers. I started with the Compak 300.
I now have both of the AA's, (the Pro and the Mini). I REALLY like them. I also have a Bud, but it's the newer Bud 6. I too would like to try a Bud 10 to compare, but as you say, it's hard. I have seen some used AA pro's at very nice prices.

Henricksen has a 30 day money back guarantee. Also, a Bud 6 will easily handle your 7string low end. It handles mine.
