alexclaber Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 [quote name='Merton' post='1071272' date='Dec 28 2010, 09:09 PM']Have Eminence got a 3015 / 3015LF equivalent in 10" diameter? I wonder if that's the sort of direct Mr Claber is heading?...[/quote] No, totally different direction! These 10"s don't even have neo magnets, but purely because we're going for a more valve amp friendly motor, which means you can make a ferrite magnet and the resulting frame quite small and light so neo would have only marginal weight benefit and the reduced power compression from typical neo motors isn't relevant with the low power output from valve amps.

ShergoldSnickers Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I rather like the idea that having made cabs that show little obvious colouration, Alex is now deliberately putting colouration back in as part of the design - the difference is that it's now controlled and part of the design goal, rather than by accident. Other cab manufacturers with any sense will be watching this with interest. This is audio 'painting' really, starting with a blank canvass and choosing the palette colours carefully.

Was toying with loading my ABM 8x10 with those, but figured might as well use guitar cabs. Totally curious as to whether I was on the right track with those.

Salt on your Bass? Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Any word or hints on how the SuperFifteen differs from the vintage? I was gutted when the vintage was taken out of production, so pretty interested in its reincarnation (if thats what infact it is!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Different shape, basically, optimised for solid state amps (as this was how people used it) rather than valve ones. I'd guess basically, deeper narrower box.

I understood the vintage ended up being voiced the same as two compacts, which led to its halt in production (together with sales demand).

Mr. Foxen Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Dunno in quite that much detail. I basically asked the same question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
