"The equipment is currently stored Nr Bury St Edmunds"

That's about 20 minutes from me.......

These things look nuts. I can't shake the idea of them just being a huge amount of mud, and not alot of definition... I guess they need to be heard to be believed.

[BassBalls]

They look the nuts but would defiantly need strapping together. I can see the top one falling off very quickly.

I don’t know how related this is but check out this guys home cinema set up –



This is an 8x18 subwoofer home cinema set up. It must literally shake the foundations of his house. Here’s the whole thread - [url="http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=976075"]http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=976075[/url]

Its not unusual. Lots of 4x15 cabs were made in the 60's and 70's. Thin stringers used 4x12's, bass players used 4x15's.

Pffft ..... bugger won't ship internationally!!! What's his problem?!!!!

[Bassassin]

My back hurts just looking at them...

If I had:

a. the arms
b. the money
c. the storage space, and
d. the musical need

I'd buy them.

But I don't.

For anyone seriously considering this (really? are your SURE?), I bought a V-Type head off this dude a few years back, he drove down from Derbyshire to Gatwick and met me to hand it over, for the princely sum of £10. Good guy, very interesting stories!

why would you want an 8x15?? a little ott in my opinion, i dont see how it could sound any better than a 4x15 and 4x10 or even 1x15 and 4x10

I remember an interview with Roger Glover where he talked about the Deep Purple Days. He and Ritchie Blackmore both had a set of Moog Taurus pedals hooked up to 4 x 15s and would have volume battles onstage. No wonder they were in the Guinness book of records or something for loudest ever gig. However, that's an award I thinkManowar snatched from them.

I'm suspecting that was the delivery cost. Hoping that is.

[Merton]

Er yes, didn't make that clear did I?!! Haha. If I'd bought a V-Type head for a tenner I'd have been the luckiest b*gger alive. it was £255 plus a tenner for delivery from Derbyshire
