Stunning prices on Genz Benz Focus LT cabs

[Musicman20]

These are the new 'lightweight CONSTRUCTION' ceramic loaded cabinets.

These prices are beyond good. I don't need a 4x10 but I want this one!

[bobbytodd]

took the plunge and orderd 2x focus 2x10 and a streamliner today from mark at bass direct.nice guy pleasure to deal with

[Musicman20]

These appear to be made in their factory overseas then checked over and inspected at Genz USA.

For the price, something had to give, and I bet they are excellent quality.

[bobbytodd]

I have a Streamliner 6.0 it is magnificent, just the right amount of valvey subtleness and then you can dial in more. You'll have report in on the cabs now !

[bozzie]

I see they are now in stock, at Bass Direct and sounded pretty good too

From the look of things, I take it the drivers are ceramic jobbies? If so, then that's about average prices for non neo cabs is it not?

[Oldman]

Well spotted Sherlock, that information was in the initial post. An excellent setup at the price from a good company, spot on for four strings. But then what do I know, I'm still searching for the holy grail in the form of a 1 x 10 Neo that drops to 30 Hz and fits in my pocket....

[Musicman20]

Crazy low prices. Check the new prices here:

£385 for a lightweight 4x10?!

I'd like a pair of the 1x12s.

you forgot it has to set it's self up and be louder than the drummer without anyone complaining....

[Oldman]

Ah, yes, some years away then you think?

[Bigwan]

Anyone actually tried them yet?

[JTUK]

Ceramics and cheap... and nothing wrong with that as such, but
the EBS classic line is NEO and almost as cheap-ish....
so much for the price hike in NEO..!!!

Not sure I like the idea of a EBS line going that cheap, IMO as I thought the whole point of it was excellence made in Sweden/Europe..??

[Stag]

Hmmm... Interesting, looking at lightweight next... Anyone tried them yet?

[Musicman20]

I think, although not 100%, that the EBS Classic cabs are ceramic but engineered to be lighter, like these cabs.

As much as I'd like one of the 1x12s id rather have a high end stack or the Aguilar DB112s. Weight, when it comes to 1x12s, isnt a massive issue.

I think you are right about ceramics...and the website I quoted from was less that clear about this...but would agree from reading it more carefully that EBS classic line is not NEO.
