I am not ashamed to say I've been using Yorkville gear my entire career. It's built like a tank, never breaks down, it sounds great in the hands of the right user, great value for $$$, etc. A working musician's dream. And if it ever does need repair, I can drive right to the factory (they're located in Toronto), they usually fix it while I wait, and do it for FREE, even if it's out of warranty.

I personally had the worst experience with the Barbetta 41C and its
manufacturer. I purchased it new through a dealer on the web. They
sent it. Right out of the box it had a hiss that was unbearable - even
my Roland 500C was quiet compared to that. All that crap about
"smoothing out even the most digital sounding piano patches" was just
that. When I called customer services to speak to someone, I got Moe,
Larry, and Curly all wrapped up in their resident genius. He acted as
if I was at fault and told me, if the band played loud enough, I'd
never hear the hiss; can you believe that?
I sent the thing back to the dealer and got a full refund. I purchased
a little known, un-hyped amp made by Yorkville Sound in Canada called
the 200KB - 4 channels, 200 watts, a 15" and 3" tweeter, with the
ability to power an external speaker. Best keyboard amp I've ever had>
I've never had to crank it above '4' and with the "6" JBL I use an
external speaker it's a great place to start with Roland RD700 piano,
Korg CX-3 plus Speakeasy, and occasional Wurlitzer electric piano
200A.
