SisterAbdullahX Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Anyone have or tried the QS410 Pro cab from Hughes & Kettner? I'm interested in it because of the dual coil speakers in it which means no horn required. I was wandering if it still has the top end sparkle but without the dreaded "clack" of a lot of 4x10's with horns in them. Quote
Chopthebass Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 I know what you mean about the 'clack'. I don't know why more manufacturers don't opt for a small speaker instead of a horn, like the Hartke 4.5xk (brill cab by the way). Can't help on the H & K. Are you just anti-HF horns? You can attenuate most horns. Quote

The QS410 has speakers with whizzer cones, not dual voice coils. Check out what people say about the treble response of the EA Wizzy, which AFAIK is the only other whizzer cone bass cab on the market. I used to own a whizzer cone cab and it's quite a neat solution to added treble without electrical crossovers (the voice coil / cone/ whizzer cone flexible joint acts as a mechanical crossover) and mid/tweeter units.
