  1. If they do everything that you want then enjoy!
  2. I think you may have misunderstood my post. I meant put the cabinet on its end so that the two drivers are vertically aligned, one above the other.
  3. Agreed. Four eight inch drivers are not going to take you too far playing a bass through them with a 500W amp pushing them.
  4. Just remember that using a bass a rule of thumb could be to derate the cabinets power rating by 50%.
  5. When yo get the Ashdown stack it on it's end for a vertical 2x10. You might just like it better that way.
  6. If you haven't tried I would eMail Phil himself and outline your problem. I have heard that he is very forthcoming in answer to a customer.
  7. Sticking my oar in, the amp will never make a decent bass amp with that open back cabinet.
  8. I'm glad you discovered the SS diode feeding each of the rectifier anodes trick. I had the same problem with my Sixties B15NF. The diodes increase the PIV of the rectifier system to prevent flashover and blowing of fuses. This was my reason for asking my question. Member @beans-on-toastgave me the tip. Enjoy your amp.
  9. Some times the guys who design amplifiers actually know what they are doing!!
  10. Back in the late sixties I used a Marshall 4x12 driven by a Leak TL50 Plus and a small single valve preamp I built to control the Leak.. it worked well but the cabinet WAS more than a little awkward to load in and out!
  11. Trust me she'll bring it up when you least expect it and are most vulnerable.!
  12. Sell it before it gives you a Hernia!!
  13. 1
  14. As it's now March 26, more that a month later, WHAT HAPPENED???
  15. And likely designed by the same folk!
  16. Always an excellent idea!!
  17. I'm glad I don't have to move that stuff!!
  18. Ya ask a question - get answer and then add qualifications!! LOL
  19. Did they refund you for the cabinet you blew?
  20. In this day and age, considering the power available from amplifiers, no one should still be using 1/4" phone plugs to connect between amplifier and cabinet. Never ever use an instrument cable for this duty!!
  21. How the hell do you know the address on Warden? That's just a couple of exits west from mine on the 401! 🤨
  22. Never having heard of Ann Summers I looked the name up. Good grief! I nearly had a heart attack!
  23. I hope it serves you well!
  24. I've been using rack pre-amps since the early eighties when I built my first SS power amp. Since then I've enjoyed a few different units, some of my own build. My current amp is a 2KW capable Class D stereo power amp. I built a three tube two channel pre-amp to drive it. It has served me well.
