========================

I have a Marble Max, not the Harpwood, so I can't comment on the that. But I 
can tell you my Max is phenomenal. It's not "designed for harp," per se. 
Basically it's Marble's version of a Champ with some subtle techy changes 
that I can't explain or even understand. Even though the Max has just got an 
8" speaker, it's noticeably louder (not to mention way more full-sounding) 
than the Pro Junior I had years ago. If the Harpwood's this good, only 
bigger, I say run don't walk to buy one. Disclaimer: I paid a lot of my 
hard-earned dough for my Max - I post this only as a satisfied customer. 
With that said, if AJ at Marble reads this and wants to mail me a Harpwood, 
I'm cool with that! ;-)
