If you were going to buy a Tempest, and you had a choice between 2. All else being equal, one has an Amplifone and one has a K6100. Which one would you prefer and why? Thanks!

Amp, duh. The monitor has better resolution, its' worth more, performs better, is more reliable (when rebuilt correctly) and did I mention it's worth more?
If the two cabs are side by side with the same money to buy both it's a no brainer. Cripes, you could buy the one with the amp, SELL THE AMP, and buy a whole 'nother Tempest AND a 6100 monitor.
Tell you what. If you get a tempest with an Amp in it, I'll gladly trade you straight up for the 6100 in my Star Wars upright. After all, my SW originally shipped with an Amp. Then everyone's happy, right?
Cool thanks guys. Clearly I'm a newbie in the vector monitor world - but I'm getting the impression that a Tempest with an Amp in it might not be such a bad thing.

Hehe. The Amp is clearly a nicer monitor. Just pointing out that Tempest was designed to work with a 6100, and that's what all of them came with. I don't know how the deflection angle differences will affect Tempest, or even how noticeable it would be. Star Wars, for instance, is a bit "warped in" on a 6100. I don't know if the effect would be reversed by putting an Amp in a Tempest, causing things to bow outward, or even if the shapes in Tempest would be noticeably affected (no nice round Death star to distort).
Either way, it should be definitely possible to get an Amp to look absolutely fantastic in Tempest
