RCF have launched the NXL 14A speaker. Looks innovative!

I like the look of the 44A - 3x10 that allegedly goes down to 45Hz. Could be a solution to my single box per side ambition.

However, I don’t like the look of the price 😬

Our sub is 30% lighter than one of those and our pair of 10" QSC tops are lighter than one of those... no gains in weight or ease of transport but I'm 100% sure they'll sound great!  :/

I had a pair of Wemm 4x10 columns many years ago in my first band. I can t remember what happened to them. I sometimes wonder how well they would perform with a modern system.

Probably better than you think, although there will not be a lot of either top or bottom. That sounds like a contradiction but the 4x12s stacked vertically aim the beam and those early 12s, rated at only 25-30 watts went higher than most modern 12s.

Correction, yes, they must have been 4x12 stacks - my memory is hazy, it was over 30 years ago! And it was Wem, not Wemm.

Don't correct yourself too quickly... :)  

 

When I was a teenager I pulled a pair of Wem column speakers (my first foray into amplifying an instrument) out of a bin and they could well have been 10" or LESS!

Wem did both 4x10 and 4x12 columns.

We acquired ours from our old CO when my brother and I were in the Air Cadets. He mentioned he had a couple of PA speakers that he wanted to get rid of, and if we could collect them we could have them for nothing. Thank goodness our dad had a Volvo estate!
