Anything Ashdown is good. Whether it's good for your needs only you can decide.
-
Not a matter of caring more, I think, a matter of just how many folks have tried both. Aguilar are more of a premium brand and their speaker cabinets are well regarded. Hartke are more run of the mill though they do get a lot of positive postings.
-
I know all that! LOL I've owned a couple of 50W Bassman amps in the last sixty odd years I've been playing. It's never been one of my favourite amps.
-
That seems a lot like carrying Coals to Newcastle. Use the amp as it was meant to be used. If you want to sound like you're using a Bassman then buy one.
-
I'd not thanks you for it - I'm not into vintage equipment that much. That said, if it brings you pleasure then I'm happy for you.

Ah but Stevie, Q Components IS near ME! LOL

Maybe here? https://qcomponents.ca/products/b-c-14ndl76-8-ohm-14-500w-neodymium-3-0-voice-coil-woofer?variant=39705481314453¤cy=CAD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic Failing that if the company still exists contact their customer service department.

Trouble with your suggestion Owen is that it adds another cable and I was wireless at the time .

Back in the late Seventies I built a monitor around a 12" JBL so I could hear myself in the harmonies we were doing. A little later I built a 10" version and that worked so well I built another. Finally I bought a IEM system and that worked best of all without the cost a a separate power amp to drive the monitors
-
You have to remember that the 1/4" Jack plug was developed from those used in telephone switch boards. In that service they worked at 48V DC at a couple of hundred milliamps. Use in connecting a powerful amplifier to it's speaker cabinet far exceeds the design criteria.
-
That's their loss I guess!!
-
Don't you have a Long & McQuade store over there by you?
-
Then I guess that the amp is in permanent bridge mode to get to the 2KW rating. This being so using standard 1/4" phone jacks for the speaker connections is inadvisable as both conductors will be live with respect to ground. The SpeakOn sockets are all that should be used with a proper SpeakOn to SpeakOn speaker cable.
-
This amp is supposed to put out 2KW. What is the amp's minimum impedance? Thanks.

We had a ground floor apartment/room. I forget the address it was late Sixties. We bought a house in Caerphilly and a little later moved over here to the Toronto area. It's nice talking to you oo!
-
Just had to drop in and say hi. I loved my time in Penarth. Just married we moved from Liverpool to Penarth. It really is a nice place to live.

I use a 2x10 cabinet, Acme B2, but I always use a pair stacked on their ends for a vertical 4x10. I find them ideal and stacked thus brings speakers closer to my ears. The dispersion out into the room is better too. In your place I too would get a second identical 1x12 to stack on top of the one you have now.
-
Well that was a waste of a perfectly good tiP! I guess it must be time for my nap!
-
Your thread title describes me perfectly! LOL
-
That's not true in my experience. The 12AU7/ECC82 has a smaller amplification factor, µ, and has a greater anode dissipation but cannot draw more power replacing a 12AX7/ECC83.
-
If you are not using the combo Then the money would serve you better in the bank where it can eventually be put towards something you actually will use.
-
Good luck with that then. I hope your troubles are over.
-
Just for interest if the combo has an Effects Loop try connecting the Send and Return with a signal cable. See if that helps.
-
The best stand I have discovered for one of my Acme B2 2x10 cabinets is another stacked as a vertical 4x10.
-
Rectification it should have been! In my tube case I have 6L6B, 6L6WGB, 6L6G, 6L6GT AND 5881 all from earlier versions of the 6L6GC. These would not last long in an amp designed for the GC variant.
