I was working at Electro-Voice/Mark IV Audio during  and after the 
acquisition of Dynacord.  Great bunch of guys in Germany... Gunter Krauss is 
still there, as head of engineering I believe.  My opinion is that the 
CLS-222 was just one of those cases of getting it RIGHT.  The later DLS 
models were cool in many ways but were just way over-engineered (as are a lot 
of German electronic products) and they were TOO much and TOO perfect in what 
they did.  The CLS-222 is still the choice of many studio and touring pros; 
it is a great unit (and I'm pissed I didn't pick one up when I was there!).  
Put it in the category of the Fender Twin Reverb.... is just works, and 
nobody is quite sure why.
