Rich Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Not often you find a new cab that is more pounds weight than it is pounds sterling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bam Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I saw this very cab in pmt manchester. Weirdest cab I've ever seen. Couldnt work out if it was a bass cab, a hifi, a powered pa system etc - just one weird - but interesting - looking thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wharfdales and Albion were made (or at least designed) by the same person (Steve Grindrod). Although Albion were previously a much more boutique amp. The one above looks like it's something cobbled together from leftovers. Could be a bargain though if it's anything like the Wharfdales. I still have mine (2x10 + 1x15) as my primary cabs. They were an absolute steal, they're still going strong after about 2 years and they still sound great.

Beer of the Bass Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 The 1x15“ looks like a reasonable deal, I might point those out to a friend who was looking out for a smallish cab for home studio use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Lets be honest the cab design and switching etc are a bit... gimmicky at best but if I'd been offered a 'new' BFO cabinet for £120 when I was starting out I'd have been deaf with a hernia by the age of 20! Especially if I'd bought 2 of them to get 4 ohms (which I would). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the manual I found lurking online, it appears that the others are 2 heavy-duty 10" midrange emphasised Albion driers. I have to say they come across as very capable. As warwick says, if I'd been able to pick up such a cab at this price when I was young/fit/starting out (and this price is the equivalent of £42 back then..! I paid 100 secondhand for my first 4x12 cab and thought I'd got a bargain), I'd have been all over it like a rash.

As I said above. I have found then to be absolutely superb, and great value for money. It looks like they've now rebranded them back to Albion.

And the crossover seems a little gimmicky - a horn level switch can be useful, but surely the crossover frequency and midrange phase would have one optimum setting that most designers would just have hardwired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 I think if I needed a lot of cab cheaply and stumbled across these, I'd go for two 1x15s rather than the 6x10, for about the same price. It just seems like there would be fewer potential pitfalls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
