Guys, Orange amps have to be more addictive than cocaine + Meth + Heroin!!! 24 hours ago I was a happy, content, stable man, now all I can think about is a new OR50 and a AD5. We really need to start a 12 step program for those of us hopelessly addicted to Orange amps.

I doubt that unfortunately, although I too would like to see it with a 12" speaker. I suspect it will be a 10" the same as the previously released models...

As soon as the AD5 is released I will be putting in an order for one. The simplicity is what attracts me to it.

One thing I am concerned about in regard to the OR50 (which is what I am gonna be saving for) is where it is going to be made?? I am going to be a little put off if they want 1500 dollars for this amp if its made in Korea or China......part of the Oranage mystique (ala Gibson) is that I am buying something with some English heritage.

Anyone else concerned about this?

Yep I agree. I'm looking for the TT combo to come in around a K which is quite a bit for a Chinese made amp. Don't know that I will pay that much for it. If companies are going to outsource their production to Asia and pay 50 cents an hour to the workers then they should pass the savings on to the consumer. But far too often (like Celestion for example)) the prices never fall a cent. So the profit margin increases while the consumer feels shortchanged.

I agree with you totally. If Orange is going to start having their products outsourced they can count me out. Orange will then be no different than all of the other companies with cheaply made products and that makes me sad. I for one will pay a little extra for the real deal. Hopefully Orange will realize this and keep their heritage intact along with the quality.

I'd prefer it if the OR50 is made in Korea. English labour is too expensive and chinese quality too sketchy.

I have no problem with that if they price it right!!!! But we all know where this amp is gonna be priced and it won't be cheap. If I want Chinese or korean (other than my TT[:(!]) I will go out and buy a Peavey amp

I am just glad I had my TT modded by Jule Potter cause he had to change some things to get it right (thanks to those wonderful high quality chinese parts) and I know it will last
