lowhand_mike Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 blimey o'riley but doesnt that go against the form factor of having 2 10s side by side? dispersion what not? shipping wont have been cheap either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No because of the way the two tens are configured in each horizontal pair.

The clever bit is that only one of the two columns runs at full range with the other putting out just low end so there is no comb filtering and therefore the dispersion of midst and highs is far better than on other cabs with the same two column layout. The 8x10 will no doubt employ exactly the same system making it the best 8x10 out there. That said I simply cannot get my head around why anyone needs one unless they're playing stadia and have to stand 300ft from their amp.

51m0n Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I saw this when I was picking up my big twin... It's huge by barefaced standards, I didn't get time to have a quick demo but I imagine it sounds rather epic ☺ Still I think it will pale into insignificance compared to some of Alex's upcoming creations.....

Not a quote you'd read too often. 36kg is almost half of my old Mesa 610! I wish this was around when I was young and stupid enough (and vehiculiar enough) to carry around such a beast.

taunton-hobbit Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The 'height' thing has got a bit lost in here....I have a couple of BF Dubsters and a pair of Mackie C200 for mid/top (active xover & Focusrite processing), through three Ormat 250 valves, or if I'm feeling idle, a Crown XLS2k (class D)...I wanted tall(ish) speakers & these do well. (yup, it's silly loud...I play reggae & soul, but not often, it's a bit much for a pub gig)....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
