IYou can compress the 5h1t out of a signal but it will not increase the power significantly. At most 40%.

I was not comparing any cabinet or driver. I was commenting on the graph of the 12PR300. The tuning of that cabinet suggests that in the area of that dip, the cone excursion would exceed XMax substantially at relatively low powers.

When you see that dip, as with the 12PR300 on the graph, run like hell.

I have learned something new about the CQs. I new that the 12 had no WiFi and limited effects compared to the 18/20 but did not know that it could not use the monitor app. Does that change if you use a standalone WiFi router?

I think it’s time to get GSS involved. The problem is clearly with their amp as the Thunderfunk declares the cabinets not guilty.

That is the input impedance, the sensitivity would either be quoted in mV, V or or possibly dB.

Sounds to me like the Sumo is very insensitive requiring you to drive the Preamp into distortion. The GSS website is appalling. No mention of input sensitivity, no online user manual, no real spec at all. Also don't believe the Class D denyers. They have probably worked out so much to carry their SVTs that their thought processes have been distorted🤣

Its why most TVs have a Dynamic or Shop picture setup choice. Neither is natural but when you are fighting against the bright shop lighting, a natural picture would be swamped.

I have not done anything yet about the string height. I decided to swap out the picky for the Fender Japan one from my Aerodyne. That is also a ceramic and has much bigger magnets than the originals. They do sound better but the originalss not as much as I had hoped. I have ordered a set of Tonerider Classic P so will update as soon as I can.

What make drivers were originally fitted and why choose the Eminence?

Gnome with all EQ set to 12 o'clock,

l More likely due to poor component selection or poor quality components. Capacitors in power amps may het hot and if you look at the de-rating curves with increasing heat, you will see that many will only be rated for 1000 hours a elevated temperatures. Most caps are either 85C or 105C rated but of course running them cooler will extend the life considerably. Established brands like Panasonic, Nichicon, Vishay, Rubycon et al will work well within the spec as @agedhorse suggests above. However buy for reputable distributors.

Funny you should say that as I was considering putting a PR320 up for sale. PM me. AS BFM says it has close to twice the XMax and goes lower so you would not need to push so much low end power from the amp.

The guitarist in my fun band has one, he loves it and even for a duff guitarist like me it seem to play really well. The original Shergolds were based on the old Hayman designs (2020?).

After setting the relief and string height, the saddles are at the bottom of there travel. So increases thickness of shim or file the saddles? I think shim first.
