[/quote] The drivers for some of the Ashdowns are made in Italy and the Electronics in China, all to UK designs. Their more expensive stuff is still made in the UK. With regards to Hartke, it always sounds to me like Bass Gear designed by a guitarist. With regards to the Cab design, I don't believe that most Bass cabs are designed to HiFi standards and if you take some of the best bass cabinets and put the figures through WinISD or another Cabinet Emulator, you will find that the response is far from flat. So leave the speaker in the Ashdown Cab as long as it sound good to you.
