Here's more pics.

I swear these things are works of art. The build quality is ridiculously good. :gas:

I have a dep gig tomorrow with a proper ROCK BAND - it'll be a good test, even though the drivers won't really have opened up yet...







I can't think of a situation where I'd ever need to use this, but it's an option... :lol:

I may need to pop around for a cuppa some time soon... I'm getting itchy fingers!

Oh and how very dare you dep with a rock band, that's my patch you are treading on; stick to your Knopfler et al gigs! ;)

Any time!

And yep, I'm probably going to have to play 30x more notes than I normally do, at seven times the volume. I'll need a lie down at half time. :-)

Hello WOT, I play same genre of music as yourself, would the new TKS 115 be worth waiting on or go for the S212/ S112 modular set up? Thanks Fergal

I can't comment on the new TKS 115 - haven't tried it - but the 12's just do it for me.

I'm guessing the 15 has inherently bigger lows and is a little bit less mid-shy. That's just a guess, mind.

Here's the S212 in action at yesterday's dep gig with a proper rock band (which isn't normally my thing, but it was mint fun).

You're pretty much listening to the cab - there's not much in the PA if any. They're not a quiet band by any means, so it should give you an idea of the authority of the tone. It's sounds massive, and it felt like it still had loads in it.
