Howdy all,
Does anyone have any experience of using the current MINIMARK 802 N 300 for small gigs? I've read a few things on BC and elsewhere about the old version ( Minimark 802 ) but nothing on the new MINIMARK 802 N 300. Basically I'm looking for a compact lightweight allrounder for £600 ish mainly for home use, but possibly for occasional gigs. The older version seems to struggle with bottom end in larger venues, which I guess shouldn't be a surprise, but the new one is slightly bigger and more powerful (at least at 4 ohms - not sure about 8 ohms) so I wondered if that counts for anything?
The type of scenario I'm thinking about is un-mic'd drum kit, small PA for vocals, audience of 50-100 people, in a range of styles.
In the past I've used a couple of Peavey rigs with 15in main driver, (mainly a Peavy TNT 150 combo, playing blues and jazz) but that was a loooong time ago. I'm intrigued by the idea of using 8's, and really value compact size and low weight. As an alternative I'm thinking of a Warwick Gnome (200) and 2x TE 1x10 cabs for slightly more money.
Cheers!
