I like the tone of them, though I'd find them totally unusable without the tweeter. When I first plugged in and played I thought 'Nice, wonder what they're like with a bit more tweeter on', it was on full I turned the tweeter off and I was shocked, that was a no go area. My Tech cab with the tweeter turned off completely, sounds like the Aggies with the tweeter at 50%. The general tone is pretty much nice and old school with a bit of a dip in the mid and a full bottom end. The Tech is pretty much flat until you start to drive it then it fattens up, whereas the Aggies tightened up when I turned the wick up. Even at a 4 ohm load they needed a bit more from the amp than my 6 ohm Tech cab does. Part of that could be to do with the fact that the Tech cab has speakers at toe and chest height whereas the Aggies are firing everything below the knees never mind waist I knew what the weight of them was before getting them but it is surprising how heavy the little beggars are... combined they are almost 50% again as much weight as my 6x10 Tech cab! I need to get rid of this Tech cab otherwise all I'm going to do is constantly make comparisons between the Aggies and the Tech. Oddly enough I'm using the Tech at rehearsal tomorrow and I'm likely to gig it rather than the Aggies this weekend for my penultimate gig with the rock band It has to go before I change my mind as the acoustic thing is going to look bloody silly with me sitting on a stool leaning against a 6x10 whilst a guitarist strums away on an electro-acoustic through an ickle Trace acoustic with his vocal mic plugged into the same combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Is there any way you can get them off the floor to hear them, without them looking like hifi speakers? Do you think they would loose any bottom end off the deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that a bit loud? I use a 1 12 and still have to turn the amp right down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I bought the pair as a package and I'd like to keep the second cab for future needs, in fact just tonight there has been mention of a drummer being incorporated into some gigs. I also get called upon to dep for other bands occasionally and these are predominantly rock gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
