The Acoustic Image / Raezer's Edge combination is very nice. Customers with that set up tend to be jazzers. The RE cabinets come in some interesting configurations like 1 x 8, 2 x 6, 2 x 8, etc.
 
Also makes for a very portable rig - the AI heads weigh between 3 and 7 lbs. The REs are between 20 and 30 lbs.
 
I haven't heard it in a rock setting with stacks of effects.
 
And, yes, Rich Raezer did pass away a few months ago - but there is still some stock available in the dealer channel.

According to the above link (i.e., J. Hale Music), Raezer's Edge has resumed production.
 
Apparently, Rich Raezer was allegedly murdered by his own son, ghastly as that may sound.

From the RE site:
 
Arrangements have been made to resume production of Raezer's Edge Cabinets. All models will be manufactured using the same materials, specifications and workmanship standards used by Rich Raezer.
 
Production will resume shortly, so keep watching for updates!

Ah David,
 
I didn't realize you were an Acoustic Image and Raezor's Edge dealer. What do you think of them personally?  
 
For now, I'm using my old silverface Fender Twin as my jazz amp for my Heritage Golden Eagle archtop jazzbox, but I'm always looking to spend some more hard-earned disposable income on my toys, LOL!
 
I have to admit I'm a bit sceptical about a S/S guitar amp as I am a tube (valve) guy, but the prospect of not having to haul that heavy-*ss Twin around with my bad back and knee(s) has peaked my interest.
 
Cheers,
 
Kevin
