[quote name='molan' timestamp='1431612642' post='2773219'] Ian Gillan agrees with me : Gillan says Deep Purple are a better live act since they stopped trying to be the loudest band on the planet. The frontman recalls the band's brutal noise levels during the 1970s, in particular the 1972 London Rainbow Theatre show in 1972 which the Guinness Book Of Records confirmed made them the loudest band on earth. Volumes reached 117 decibels that night and there are tales of audience members losing consciousness as a result. Gillan says “We used to be pretty loud, but I think the focus has changed now. The impact of sheer volume was one thing that used to get written up about. The equipment now is so sophisticated, you can have volume without pain. "It’s actually enjoyable. You’re not running around with your ears ringing after the show, like you used to be. There’s a lot more focus on what’s actually going on on stage. You can get involved with that a lot more. I think it’s a vast improvement over what it used to be.” [/quote] I agree with your point, we keep our stage volume as low as possible and drive the sound through front of house to the point that my CN212 is way overkill for most of the time

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1431616692' post='2773277'] Funnily enough I've not heard anyone complain about the AE series. The AE112 and 210's have always been very popular. One of the easiest cabs to sell because they're in so much demand [/quote] The AE210V and AE212 get a lot of love and understandably so, there are quite a few of the guys(myself included) on Talkbass who are just not that keen on the AE112, it is not a bad cab by any means but seems to get less love than some of Jims other creations. It would have been nice to have met you when I dropped into the shop to pick up a bass a couple of weeks ago, I met Vic and Phil, great guys and nice store...hope to deal again some time!

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1431610103' post='2773174'] I'm very happy with my pair of AE112s. Best sound I've ever had. [/quote] I am really pleased for you👍 Couldn't wait to get rid of mine and I know a lot of others felt the same way as well, it is good too see however that the diverse tastes and needs of players are well catered by all the different kit that is now available.

[quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1431535029' post='2772349'] I have 2 AE112 light weight Bergs and i find they lack something which i cant quite put my finger on. Depth possible when driven. I also have a Berg HT322 which is far more solid feel to the tone. AE's great for handling and rehearsals but HT322 delivers at gigs altho its pretty damned heavy. Like the sound of what people say about Barefaced cabs tho with regards retaining the low end at higher volumes I'm currently looking at other options ie 2x10 cabs as i just like 10" speakers which always seem to have a more mid-range punch that i like. Still trying to make my mind up tho GAS bloody GAS. Dave [/quote] The AE112 is the least desirable of all Jims cabs, HD and CN cabs are a revelation in comparison!
