Sexxay amp, too.
That is a valid question. Let's put it this way, when we were talking to Emperor about building me a matching headshell they were heavily focused on building their own amps and putting them in their own headshells, so they made a business decision to no longer make headshells for other amp builders. Schnikes pretty much got the last headshell they made for any other amp builder that i am aware of. I'm much happier with the Mammoth though, i had alot more creative control and the fitment is absolutely perfect. I'll take some pics of the back where Mammoth made a grill out of wood, it looks amazing. Plus Mammoth was able to match the color perfectly, with only seeing shitty cell phone pics of my cabs finish. Emperor has an unfortunate track record of not being able to make matching products to the cabinets you previously bought from them as well, all well pretty much telling you your SOL it is how it is, which made me weary.

1. Mammoth is local to me so getting in touch with him, checking up on orders, and getting to make sure it was what I wanted was feasible
2. Emperor is really back ordered
Emperor makes a fine ass shell, see Schnikes amp, but the wait time and the problems getting in touch with them make it difficult to coordinate with my amp builds.

i think the important question is will mammoth retrofit your emperor cabs to match the annunaki for whatever my opinions worth i think it came out perfect regardless of who made it but the bar of awesome has been raised and the names dunwich and mammoth are holding it tall proppers (the ever-wise and all-knowing NOBODY hath spoken)
