Ok so I have had my AD140 for several months now, I've been too busy to post, I recently had some tube work done and some resistors fixed and such, and the amp sounds fabulous, I can't believe how anyone would not want this wonder.
And for the people on harmony central or other places saying it isn't loud, well I've had it cranked up all the way several times through my orange ppc 4x12 and things in my room started falling over eventually, at a point I got a noise complaint in my apartment complex because people in another building's walls were shaking, this was 2pm on a friday when I thought everyone was in class!!
Anyways its been moved to my bands practice space, but I just have to say it is a phenomenal amp, orange is amazing, but I have a quick question for anyone who may know this. I bought the amp used but I need to get it insured, I know we're not supposed to talk about prices and such but I need to know the replacement value for the amp, and when I search online for it I see a ton of different prices for the amp, mostly because its discontinued, and you know how some places like to mark up unique gear.
Does anyone know what oranges list price was for this amp when it came out?
Thanks in advance!!

Yeah I figured it out, I understand something can be insured for whatever, I'd just have an easier time proving to the insurance company that X thing was worth X value if I had a reference point to it, I'm not sure how my insurance plan works at the moment, but I do know some companies and plans make it more or less difficult proving the value and worth of something, so sticking closer to replacement value for new, things like that, works better at least so I don't have to "prove" the worth of something, it was just a problem I was trying to solve in foresight just in case my amp was stolen and the insurance company was trying to negate on the plan, just silly bulls--- I'm trying to avoid, I mean I remember reading on craigslist some idiot who was trying to sell some american strat or some crap he was claiming was worth 3 grand and had it insured for 3500, I don't even think it was a custom shop guitar, sigh.

Forgot we can talk non-current production.

Maybe that is the problem?
People on Harmony Central doesn't say it's not loud when played in their apartment, but when they're supposed to be heard over a loud drummer or in comparison with another loud amp i.e. any brand of amp at 100 watts.
Hell, I could get evicted with my ZVex Nano head if I played it flat out in my apartment. It's loud as hell, for being in here, but it would never work with a drummer.
