Mr. Foxen

Spec other than nominal impedance is a bit difficult, since most of the standard supplied specs are pretty much completely irrelevant to anything, or plain misleading. Speaker diameter and thermal power handling and an unspecific frequency band are the first things you get to see. Paying attention to them cab be pretty misleading.

With many manufacturers 'designed' at all is going to require a pretty broad definition of the term.

Its a GEC, get 4 of them and they can pull about £4-500 if they test good. The predate valves being crap enough need matching, they were made right to start with.

When I lived at the House of Bass had it a few times people would come to buy things and pull the old 'I only have slightly less cash that we agreed on me.' trick. But in the post office just next door is a free cash point so not a valid excuse.

I don't think it will add to the price, it will probably mean out of a choice of two equivalents, yours will have the edge.

[quote name='iiipopes' timestamp='1352911738' post='1869325'] nothing beats what Jim Marshall's large power transformers can do for guitar for the output stage of his amplifiers! [/quote] Wha? Marshall tone is all about the underrated transformers.

Aguilar should sound good, Orange can't tell how it will sound because they are a mess in the mids anyway, and you are mixing different cabs. The Aguilar will be louder though since you aren't feeding half your speakers power to perform the function of the back of the speaker in the Aguilars.

Bit more specifics on the amps would be good, most generic things ever as described.

There is no problem with using cabs within their limits. Cheap amps are much more transparent than cheap cabs.

Forget the 4ohm part. No point, no cheap cab is gonna handle the extra watts.

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1354737922' post='1889910'] Well noone in their right mind is going to open with their "best" offer are they ?, thats just not how any sort of trade negotiations work. [/quote] Yes, there are a lot of dishonest people about. I have no wish to deal with them.

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1354736759' post='1889883'] Maybe I see if differently, but isn't asking for a best offer (that might be lower than your asking price, but still acceptable) by its very nature, negotiating? Everyone's welcome to trade how they want aren't they, it's just nice if nobody takes offence [/quote] On my part, to an extent. On the part of the person ignoring what I've said, it isn't negotiating, it is spam or lies, depending on if they didn't read it, or read it and ignored it. Either way, no point in going further.

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1354733418' post='1889818'] I think that's cos people look to negotiate rather than just outright pay their top price, I mean if someone's offer was low but not far off the mark, tell them what you want, as they might want the item and rather not lose it for just and extra £x amount. Being asked 'what's your best offer' puts me off to be honest, as I wouldn't really ask them 'what's the cheapest you will sell'. If I want to offer on something, even if its a low offer, I tend to offer based on what I can afford, rather than tell someone their item is only worth £x. I guess this is where everyone differs, and at the end of it all, nobody is forced to buy or sell, so hold out for someone your happy to do a deal with [/quote] I'm not one of those people though. Hence saying 'give me your best offer'. If I wanted to negotiate, I'd start by stating my negotiating position (which is my advert), which would be rendered pointless by someone who didn't bother reading it, similar to not reading the words 'best offer'. If they want the sport of negotiating, they'll have to start by making their best offer for that use of my time.

The insulting bit isn't so much insulting as disappointment that makes it really annoying. You get excited at the prospect of a sale seeing the new message and it turns out to be some total chancer with no posts hoping you have no idea what you are selling.

Lacquering speakers changes the tone a fair bit too.

I hate when you say to people 'make your best offer', they go for a lowball, and when you decline, they go to haggling. 'Best offer', so you weren't being honest with me first time, why would I continue to deal with you? Time better spent finding someone who can shoot straight.

I figured where he found his business plan, in the fifth Hitcherhiker's Guide book: [quote]The main trade that was carried out was in the skins of the NowWhattian boghog but it wasn't a very successful one because no one in their right minds would want to buy a NowWhattian boghog skin. The trade only hung on by its fingernails because there was always a significant number of people in the Galaxy who were not in their right minds.[/quote]

The added cost. Some companies do do that though: http://www.avatarspeakers.com/hellatone.htm

Dunno why people say they aren't serviceable from that. All proper components, much more accessible than the inside of an Ampeg or Mesa.

I'd be tempted to velcro tiny head to the side of a big cab.

You never heard a worn in speaker sounding worse, because when it sounds worse from being worn, its worn out.

I like [quote][font=Arial][size=4]in its Kay form it had the truss rod in the heel and now in the more common Fender head position.[/size][/font][/quote] Yep, those Fenders with there not at the heel truss rod adjustment. Edit: Just spotted the thumbrest, above the thumbrest holes, genius.

[quote name='matybigfro' timestamp='1354553267' post='1887275'] Any hot tips on smaller cabs that will get me close to that sound. [/quote] GS2x12. Apparently the Deltalite II (might wanna check that, might be the one, or another deltalite) sits happy in those cabs, but has a bit more high from the speakers (GS cabs are pretty dark) so a lighter cab tuned the same could be made, but will be a bit brighter.

[quote name='Mikey R' timestamp='1354484619' post='1886604'] According to the front page of their website, the modern ones at least are: [url="http://www.hiwatt.co.uk/"]http://www.hiwatt.co.uk/[/url] I always thought point to point meant turret board, tag strip or similiar - is this wrong? [/quote] Might say it, tell you more about Music Ground than how they are made. Turret is turret construction, instead of going from point to point, it goes from turret to turret, or turret to point. Odd things will be point to point, like the resistors on a valve base where they go between the connectors directly, but the main part of the circuit in Hiwatts is either on turret boards, or on a PCB. Either of which are superior construction methods than being point to point.
