wateroftyne Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Here's more pics. I swear these things are works of art. The build quality is ridiculously good. I have a dep gig tomorrow with a proper ROCK BAND - it'll be a good test, even though the drivers won't really have opened up yet... I can't think of a situation where I'd ever need to use this, but it's an option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Yep, early days but on the basis of last night's gig it's everything I hoped it would be. Such a big, effortless natural sound. The mids 'speak', and respond wonderfully when you dig in. No tweeters, so clarity without 'clack'. And visually, it got a lot of compliments.

ferg36 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hello WOT, I play same genre of music as yourself, would the new TKS 115 be worth waiting on or go for the S212/ S112 modular set up? Thanks Fergal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Fergal [/quote] I can't comment on the new TKS 115 - haven't tried it - but the 12's just do it for me. I'm guessing the 15 has inherently bigger lows and is a little bit less mid-shy. That's just a guess, mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm really looking forward to hearing the 1126 - love the idea of the 6" mid driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I would have liked that without a shelved port. But rather hoping the S112 idea comes together. If you are stocking them, then..??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Here's the S212 in action at yesterday's dep gig with a proper rock band (which isn't normally my thing, but it was mint fun). You're pretty much listening to the cab - there's not much in the PA if any. They're not a quiet band by any means, so it should give you an idea of the authority of the tone. It's sounds massive, and it felt like it still had loads in it.

wateroftyne Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Oh, they're a flipping hoot. Most of each set consists of a medley, and they just shout 'em out. Keeps you on your toes, but it's a riot. Forgot to mention, 1:30 in on the second vid gives you an idea of the great upper mids of this cab. Clarity without the need to for tweeters.
