Beedster Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Nice one Michael, I love vertically stacked cabs (my old Ampeg with two 2x10s sounded great on stage). Interested to know, if there's only one driver per cab, if it make any difference whether they're vertically or horizontally stacked?

I suppose it might make a difference as the distance between the drivers will change, but how much, I'm not sure. Tommy (Mr. TKS) provides them in either config.... it's up to the buyer.

Matt P Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 ooh they sound like a midget rival! i think a [s]head to head[/s] cab to cab shootout might be in order! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Ah... the game it's over! I was going to say that the grill cloth reminde me what i did on my old BF Midget T where i retrofitted a grill cloth: But the stack was more like when i had two Fender rumble 112 cabs (wich were also retrofitted with grill cloth): I can say that top mounted handles are a nightmare to sit a amp on the stack. Lots of builders are doing recessed top handles (i still think that top handles are the best way to carry the cabs, 112 speaking) that should be followed by the rest. Great looking cabs WoT, you're making me get back my will to find a way to retrofit a grill cloth in my S12T... ...i think i may have a decease!

paulpirie8 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 [quote name='dood' timestamp='1373444535' post='2137556'] I for some reason rather like the idea of having question marks as a logo on my cabs! [/quote] Haha +1 That's exactly what I thought when I saw them! I'd have guessed that they were a new barefaced model as well with the grill cloth as they're pretty similar in appearance. Placement of the badge threw me though. I'll be sure to check these out and I look forward to the review. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Cheers, all! They're pretty much an unknown quantity over here, but he's well established in Scandanavia. I've done a lot of research (thanks to Google translate!), and had a lot of discussion with Tommy (whose English is impeccable) and existing owners. My Bergs are great - they're Bergs, after all - but I don't do tweeters any more. And, although they aren't heavy in the grand scheme of things, my back has been playing up recently so the lighter the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 The prices seem to be competitive. Although I can't easily read the specs. Very nice looks too. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 those prices are amazing! 250 odd quid each and 60 odd extra for a tweeter, that works out about half the price of the midgets! even if you factor in shipping they sound like a bargain!

[/quote] Yes, that's what I meant. It's not stacking one cab on top of the other that is the issue because, as WoT says, the top cab has feet that keep it clear of the handle. It is the amp on top of the vertically stacked cabs (or even one single cab for that matter) that is awkward. Just seems a silly place to put a handle of that type...

bjelkeman Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) I really like the TKS speakers I have heard, and I have listened to a bunch of them and played some too. I have TKS 212 at the moment, but I have custom ordered a pair of 2126 (diagonal layout of the 12s and an additional 6 inch). Really looking forward to them. I think the Swedish bass forum, PrataBas.se, has a list of over 115 base players with some 170 cabinets. We Swedes do like them TKS cabs. They sound amazing. They are good value for money and they are very lightweight to boot. Edit: Splling Edited July 11, 2013 by bjelkeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 I really like the idea of the 'D' cabs, and the 1126 / 2126. There's a review on YouTube of the 1126 and it sounds lovely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
