ashdown eb 12 or eb 15

[soysuperbien]

Hello I used to have a Laney RB-5 which was alright till it melted in a fire, now I played on an ashdown EB12 evo ii last night and I really liked it. I should be getting money back from the insurance for my laney and I have a bit more money so i could afford the 12" version, and I was thinking i could put a 2x10 or 1x15 underneath it if we start playing bigger gigs.

My question is would I be better of saving up a bit more money and getting the 15"? Is there a noticeable difference using the 15" version?

The ashdown is defiantly the amp I want, just I’m a bit of a newbie when it comes to equipment so I’m just not sure how much off a difference there is between them (other than the price) would really appreciate any advice you guys could give me

Thanks

For the price of a new combo, you could probably get second hand Ashdown separates, that have already been 'tested' for reliability issues, and give you more versatility. I found Ashdown to still provide good support for items you didn't purchase directly (in that they told me how to fix them).

I've had the EB180-15 and have the EB150-12, the 12 is ported, but I preferred the 180-15, it was a later model though, significant improvements visible inside, guess the new one with compressor is better still.
