Neil Hobbs Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) Hi, has anyone tried La Voce Nbass 10-20 neo speakers? I'm building a 4x10 cab and haven't decided on speakers yet. My amp delivers 375 watts into 8 ohms Edited June 13 by Neil Hobbs Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebenezer Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Never tried them but I believe Laney used them for some of their cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleat Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The Laney Nexus cabs have LaVoce speakers, and the new Ampeg cabs have them also. I have 2 Laney cabs but not tried or tested them yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 They spec well enough but the midrange response is very rough. Have you looked at the spec sheet? That's always the first step, followed by using speaker modeling software to see the low frequency response, required cabinet size and tuning. https://loudspeakerdatabase.com/LaVoce/NBASS10-20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Hobbs Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Thanks for your responses. I'd have to import LaVoce speakers which would be quite expensive. However, another option has opened up for me. I've been offered locally 4 Eminence Basslite CH2010 Neos with hemp cones. They're no longer listed on the Eminence website so they could be quite old stock. They appear similar to the LaVoce NBASS 10-20s and the Eminence Basslite S2010 but with a higher resonance and a stiffer suspension which might be safer for the low strings on the double bass. Has anyone any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 The CH2010 are decent enough drivers. You still have to use speaker modeling software to find the ideal cabinet specs. Make sure you do them as a pair of 210 that you can stack vertically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 How can you design and build a speaker cabinet without choosing the drivers first?? It's like putting the cart before the horse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Tossing random drivers into a box is a time honored tradition, started by Leo Fender, continued by Jim Marshall. 🤪 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
