That's a bit blanket, Bob. The Einstein combo I played at TMs about a year ago had me floored. I couldn't walk away from it for about an hour. That thing is friggin' amazing, head or combo, and to be honest, the only other combos that I've played are the 5150 (not bad) and a few Marshalls which blew.

It was Bowcott you heard playing the Marshalls right? And if he was playing the amp at low volumes through 75's then it's hard to imagine the amp not sounding bright! I seriously doubt it will be the best Marshall ever, but it's probably the best they have made in a long time and the options on it are tits. It's right up there with the Roadking for versatility.
I can argue that Marshall ripped off Boogies idea of having 4 independant channels with 3 modes on each channel. The Roadking has offered that for a few years now. But i like how the JVM lets you footswitch through the modes. Boogie amps usually have a much more drastic change when you change the modes. Sometimes that's not a good thing, i found that the modern modes adds a ton of volume which bothered me.
But I'm not going to bash Marshall for coming up with an amp that has features that are curiously similiar to some Boogies since i was sick and tired of what Marshall was doing in the first place.

Well Im not saying it sucks at all. I just wasnt blown away like, "OMFG The greatest Marshall ever I must have one right now!!!" :x
In all honesty, I hope it lives up to the hype. Im a marshall guy through and through. I even really like the DSL's but I still thought they fell short of a JMP.
Im waiting for them to reclaim their crown.

That's why you should be like me and have one from every era!
Seriously, though...I know nothing will sound like my JMP, Jubilee, or 2205's...that's why I have always kept them and probably will never sell them. The JVM appeals to my need for a diverse live rig and it does everything I could ever want as far as that goes.

I'm gonna have to try one, the vintage moderns as well, I've heard too much now! I actually saw the vintage moderns in a shop, but I didn't bother asking to try for some strange reason. To be fair, they only let you play in the middle of the shop, so at that volume you can't tell all that much anyway...

I hear ya...I am going out on a limb by getting a JVM without hearing it but I am certain that it will rule. If not.....I'll sell it!!
If you are out and about tonight come by Stubb's and have a beer. I'll be running sound all night.
