So expressing an opinion that is different from makes you think think I am probably either old and outdated or a niche obsessed nerd. Nice. I go into today (as everyday) with an open mind

I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Each to their own.

As much as I want to enjoy and respect music, most of these Glasto performances have been dire. To the point where it almost feels like a giant windup. Listening to the intro glowing BBC intro then being confronted by the performances is a curious test of sanity, and gullibility. Hope others are enjoying it more than me!

I had a similar experience. I had got used to lightweight, class D neo- gear and then found myself using a Trace 4x10 combo in rehearsal. It belonged to the studio so never had to be moved, and it sounded out of this world. Night and day difference to what I had become accustomed to. Really was an ‘awesome’ sound. It’s like cinema audio… if you don’t have to worry about moving it, amplifying bass is very different !

Is it fair to say that in Bill’s scenario of a series-parallel 410 vs a parallel 210, the drivers in the 410 will each be further away from their excursion limits and so there may be more low end response at medium volume and above? Another factor may be that (if stood vertically) the 210 will probably disperse mids wider than the 410, so depending on stage positioning it may sound louder.

Lovely set up. Which pedal board are you using there… feeing tempted by the neatness of this !

Thanks all. It’s been an interesting read!
