[quote name='Machines' post='177955' date='Apr 16 2008, 03:35 PM']The topic of 2x8 Cabinet implies it is the cabinet. I've seen them in a couple of shops but not dared to ask to plug into one... maybe I will soon, am curious as to how such a small cab will perform.[/quote]
Same here, so much so that I'm thinking of building a 2x8 combo later this year... Whoop :)

Years ago, I had an Alligator combo - something like 400w into 2x8's (made by Volt). It was remarkably good, fairly deep sound for a realatively small box, something like a GK micro combo but nicer. The fatal flaw was that it was "semi-flight" cased, so very heavy for the output.

I also had an early Ashdown 4x8 - again, very nice sound (with an eden WT300) but too heavy for the the sound you got out.

Things may be improving - with newer lighter speakers ths could tip the balance??

If it's the one I tried, it had one of the maddest compressors ever - you could alter the attack so much that notes faded in like a violin effect at one extreme and sounded like a kick drum at the other.
