These are the new 'lightweight CONSTRUCTION' ceramic loaded cabinets.

These prices are beyond good. I don't need a 4x10 but I want this one!

These appear to be made in their factory overseas then checked over and inspected at Genz USA.

For the price, something had to give, and I bet they are excellent quality.

I have a Streamliner 6.0 it is magnificent, just the right amount of valvey subtleness and then you can dial in more. You'll have report in on the cabs now ! :)

From the look of things, I take it the drivers are ceramic jobbies? If so, then that's about average prices for non neo cabs is it not?

Well spotted Sherlock, that information was in the initial post. An excellent setup at the price from a good company, spot on for four strings. But then what do I know, I'm still searching for the holy grail in the form of a 1 x 10 Neo that drops to 30 Hz and fits in my pocket.... ;)

£385 for a lightweight 4x10?!

I'd like a pair of the 1x12s.
