M@23 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1441362475' post='2858235'] I think the point about Alex's cabs is that they are not [i]just an xxx (put your config here)[/i]. Is £299 good for a 210? That's the comparison you should be making. [/quote] Why? It's a 1x10, isn't it? Quote
Merton Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1441404626' post='2858748'] Why? It's a 1x10, isn't it? [/quote] Because they claim it matches most 2x10s for output. And the Retro Two10 they claim matches most 4x10s Quote
chris_b Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 As far as I know, no BF owners disagree with the estimates of BF cab capabilities. So if you want to compare apples with apples you have to be looking at BF cabs being very good value for money. Quote
Grangur Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 They are still available on the website. If you go to "Products" then look down the listing on the left, it's the bottom line. They now sell from £249 collected. Quote

[/quote] Certainly my experience of the Super Compact matches their claims IME and I very much agree with you. It's £110 more than an Ashdown 1x10 cab which is fair for a British built cab with very highly customised driver, not to mention comparing it to other "high end" 1x10s, let alone any of the 2x10s it can probably keep up with Quote
Grangur Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1441453323' post='2858996'] Sad I missed out on this! [/quote] £249 isn't a lot more and still great value for a BF. I've ordered one. Quote
JTUK Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 You're going to need two... and that assumes you can get away with a 210 on a gig, which is tenuous. I'm guessing the main use will be a Double bass, quiet jazzer Quote

Even Mrs G agrees. Quote
IanA Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) I bet it out performs an 8x10😏 Edited September 6, 2015 by IanA Quote
scalpy Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Really fancy one of these for pit gigs. Quote

Beer of the Bass Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1441820737' post='2862078'] I want a stack of 4! [/quote] You should do it! I wonder if a pair of the 2x10"s might be more sensible though... Quote

fun size nick Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 It's like an optical illusion...I'm having to remind myself that the LMIII is smaller than I think it is from the photo! Quote

Roland Rock Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Can you put it beside a can of Coke for scale purposes please (not one of the crappy tiny ones you get on airplanes) I can only truly guage the size of something if it's beside a can of coke.

Like the four corners of a square? [/quote] No generally. It all revolves around how you want to sound to disperse. When you put speakers in grid, you get upper mid/high frequency cancellation everywhere except being directly in front of it. Put speakers in a line and you get cancellation only in the direction of the line, which is why you see vertical arrays of speakers at concerts - to minimise cancellation in the horizontal plane.

[/quote] As requested. The combo on the left is a CMD121. Both have their back panels parallel. Coke can is standard size. It's really light to carry. I'd say making one that has a docking port to take the amp would be a cool option; so the amp is protected and saves you carrying it as a separate item. Edited September 11, 2015 by Grangur Quote
