I use two or four PJB's 4b with double bass (through an Acoustic Image head). The PJB 4b uses the same Pirahna drivers as the PJB c4. I like 'em and get good comments on the sound.

Anyhting specific you're after?

I play in a band of gypsy jazz band and for small gigs, I play on a 10 " (homemade) and larger TC rs 210. I would play with the PJB C4 for small concerts and combine it with my 10 "for Big gigs, but the sensitivity of 95 db Phil Jones scares me, it's not much???

I'm sure the PJB has a sound similar to Acoustic image, and I played a long time with AI 2ten Ex with my EA Doubler and the sound was fine, but the problem was the 4 ohms, so I want an 8 ohms speaker light, so I thought the C4

ps :my mic is scherlter stab B

I know what you mean about the 'low' sensitivity, the PJB cabs do soak up the amp's power compared to other more sensitive cabs. If you're looking to run the c4 with your 10" cab, I'd be nervous about the kind of balance that would achieve, especially if your 10'' cab is more sensitve, that's why I tend to use 2 identical cabs.

The PJB cabs have a very 'tight' sound (tighter than the AI 10" cabs, as I also have a AI Coda combo) due to the small diameter speakers and a good response across the frequency range. They really push out the low down bass frequencies (more so than the AI speakers). I'd say that in terms of performace (volume wise) they're somewhere between a single 10" to 12" high performance cabinet, thus to get the 'equivalent' (loosely speaking) to your TC 2x10 - imo - you'll be looking to run two c4's. I suppose you're not looking for 'massive' volume unless you're trying to compete with a drummer (I found that with my 2 PJB 4b's I could just about keep up with a rock drummer).

The 'funny' thing is that sometimes the PJB cabs don't seem very loud close range, however, once you get further away from them you really start to 'appreciate' the output more (if that makes sense ).

Thought about Barefaced cabs? The Midget 12" paired with my Doubler is transparent, light and loud. Cab weighs 20lb.
