Almost perfect
I bought 2 of these, one a B stock, to replace my now more than 30 year old 1x15s one of which had a nervous breakdown at a gig. My plan was to replace the drivers in these cabs with my Celestion 400s as I am using a 600w head and the handling capacity of these two cabs is 500w. Having established that I would have to do some fairly serious work to replace the drivers I have left the originals in for now. They don't actually seem to be bothered by the extra power (they are rated at 500w peak each) and the sound is honestly really impressive. The horns are super crisp, probably the most forward ones I have heard on a bass cabinet - and I like that, otherwise what would be the point of them? I measured the SPL of both these and my old Celestion loaded cabs and these are very marginally louder (around 2db). In short I shall be using them for the next few gigs.
Pros: relatively lightweight (I know 30kgs is not to be sniffed at). They look good and sound good.
Cons: I am not convinced the covering will last too well being transported from gig to gig, but most of all it is the lack of any corner protection that has led me to mark them down one star. The B stock one already has one slightly damaged corner.
Conclusion: happy with my purchase, excellent value and a very crisp sound with the horns switched on. Recommended.
