Richard - I am absolutly positive that my former bassplayers AMPEG 8x10
cab not only pushes the lows, but in fact will actually physically move
an entire SWR cab placed in front of it. (of course, he loaded it with
an ampeg overkill amp, with enough tubes to light the Hollywood Bowl)
there was a thread on this a while back - after some thinking we
figured that, since it actually is the back-front movement of the
speaker that creates sound waves, as long as that flexible rim around
the speaker is wide enough, the cone will move back and forth plenty -
indeed,its over 1.5 inch in those bass speakers.
In my experience, the 8x10 cabs are a lot more tight and direct
sounding then 15's - good for some things, not so good for surf. but no
way do they put out less low. But I agree with you completly, I like
the sound of 15's WAY better for bass, and for guitar i don't really
like 10's either actually.
So that leaves just one question for Marty: in order to do a fair A/B
test, shouldn't I be comparing an 8x10 cab with an 8x15 cab?
