Er,

Me!

I had 2 Wizzy 10's and 2 UL110's, I sold the Wizzy's.

The Wizzy's were lighter and a smaller footprint but I could only occasionally get a happy sound, usually on very quiet gigs.

They sounded very middly to my ears. I also had an E.A. Doubler for a short time and couldn't get a usable sound out of it, although some people swear by E.A.

The UL110's have a lot more depth and warmth to their sound and project well. They also sound great with bass guitar.

I was using Markbass heads until recently, I now use a GKMB200 which sounds great with the UL110 and / or an A.I. Contra EX, also a GKMB210 combo for louder gigs (Lindy-Hop or blues bass guitar)

I could send you a UL110 to try if you like Roger

Wow, now that's an offer, Keith. I'm reasonably happy with EA's, in fact for the seven-piece I use a 10" on a 12" quite happily. I've just come up against it with my new Bryant bass. I've gone back to an Underwood because, as I've previously said, I'm sure my ears are tuned to the sound. But to get a good sound out of a Clarus and 10" Wizzy I'm having to cut most of the middle out and that of course throws up a lot of other problems such as losing a lot of cut through the mix. It all sounds a lot better with my PJB Super Flight. I was prompted to enquire re the Epi following your recent post but also I know that Chris Kelly likes a UL112. I'll look at our gig list because I know that we are up your way later in the year and it will save having to entrust your speaker to the van men. Sorry to hijack the Eminence thread.
