Thanks Guys for taking the time to comment on this. Bolo.. Yes you are right.. But I won't be troubling any stage anytime soon... Nowhere near good enough for that. Not unless something miraculous happens to my 'ageing brain'. Mr. Downunder... Thanks for thinking '3' is an OK plan.. And....You are right too.. There is no need....! But I fancy it...And it will more than I will ever need, and negates the wanting to upgrade/ change again sometime down the line, unless something either breaks or blows...!! R

Again . Thanks to all for your input. Dan's reassurance that my compatibility worry is unfounded. Bill, I currently have my 2 on a small stand to elevate them....! Thanks. I also think it looks better..... Bolo, I have 2 10's now so adding another 2x10 would give me 4, and I don't want 4. That would probably blow my windows out if I let it... But thanks anyway. Chris. My thinking is to have exactly what you are endorsing. Oh and as an aside. Dan.... Are you from Wisconsin...? Regards. Rob

Thank you both. Good not to hear that my idea is 'not the best' and that it can be done, cos Dan does it...! Also good to hear that the sound is 'balanced ' and 'fuller tone' which is what I'm after rather then out and out volume... Spooks me a bit to hear about the heat issue..... And that it can be a problem. The specs say it has 2 cooling fans, but I won't be driving it to high levels since my music room is quite small.... so I guess I'll be OK with that too. Regards. Rob

Hello to 'the collective'... New member here! I have a pair of Trace Elliot 1x10''cabs (8ohms each but connected are 4ohms?) and am thinking to add another to make 3.. The amp head would be an Aguilar AG 500 or 700, which does have the capability to run @ 2.67 ohms, which I understand is what I would need? So: Looking to confirm what I think is true. But questions: Is it a good idea? Will it sound as good as with 2 (but just 'more?) The cabs are rated @300w each, so the head is well within that as the feed is split 3 ways, is that correct? I don't understand the physics of ohms and watts and volts etc.. Is it that lower ohms is easier or harder for the amp to work properly? Is it an issue for a modern amp head? Will it not deliver as it should, or get hot, or distort etc..? Or something else? Thank you for your guidance. Regards. Rob
