Its funny, there are people here like Till who I know own one (or more?) of these beasts and they know what they are talking about. Then there are people whos comments appear to have little to back them up.
Anyone who owns or has spent more than 30 seconds with a Wave knows that this is a one of a kind instrument. True, it is a wavetable synth, but it doesn't sound like any digital synth I own. I also think I remember this thing has analog filters, which is quite a bit different than any of the VAs out there.
Someone once said that the sound of a Wave was sort of like having a dentist drill stuck in your ear! Well, yes it can do that. It can also create some moody evolving textures and some fat bass or lead lines.
Compare it to a Prohpet VS? Why do people insist on comparing classic synths to anything else. They are good for their own unique identities. I own about 20 or synths. The ones I DON'T use are the ones that do everything. Those are up for sale.
I scored my Wave for about 4500 US. I am not sure that I would be a seller at double that price. I seem to remember that there are only about 300 or so around so my guess is that they will hold their value or increase in the years to come.
