"Footprint" of a Premier 8A

Post by bkrpdx »

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the feet of an 8A/XS? I know the amp is 19x21, but I assume the feet are not at the exact corners, and I am trying to get a rack which fits before the amps get here.

Thanks,

Brian.

I was looking at some pictures on line, and it seems like the feet are at least a good 2 inches in from the sides, and at least 1 inch from the front. Here is the picture I was looking at which shows the feet rather clearly:

I have to admit that those amps look beautiful. Classic handsome Conrad Johnson.

Thanks! The amps have arrived. For future interest, the footprint is 15 1/2" wide x 19" deep. And if you think they are beautiful, have a look at them in action.

Wow, really gorgeous. Love that tube glow!

Looks like my estimates on the feet width was pretty good. What do you have them sitting on now, I can't really tell from the picture as it's a little dark?

Right now they are just sitting on top of my chest of drawers. Soon they will be in a newly custom-built rack.
