Yep, I'll agree. A D130F loaded 2x15 is stupid heavy. I do gig with mine but also bitch about moving it.

I love Weber speakers. I thought I had a California for a long time but turned out to be a Chicago. Have one in each of my tone ring cabs

Props to you, man. Those are a hell of a lot of cabinet.

Curious, Scot - are you using the Alnico or Ceramic Chicago? Assuming the Ceramic rated @ 80 watts not the 60 watt Alnico which (sh)would be prone to getting blown by the Showman... But you know what they say about assuming. ; )

I thought Eminence was making a newish JBL type 15" for steel guitar, but I don't see it listed. I don't think it was the Commonwealth.

I have an EVM 15L that I plan on using with my DSR or BMR. I need to get a cab built. But I really like K series JBL's, I use the 12's in a 2 x 12" cab I have. Could some someone who's tried the EVM 15 and any JBL 15 compare the differences?

I wish I could. The EVM15 I have sounded immensely better than the Eminence I had in there first. I've never even seen a JBL15.

The Weber was a big improvement, sounds tighter and brighter!
