I am selling two Acme B1 cabinets. They are 8 ohms come with covers and have inserts so that they can be placed on speaker stands.
These are excellent hi fidelity PA cabinets in addition to being wonderful bass speakers.
I like them a lot. In fact I prefer their sound over the AI and EA speakers I started using. However, while 31 lbs does not seem like a lot, an injured back changes that outlook.
$300 each plus shipping which will be based on distance box size and weight (35 lbs).

If you own a G-K MB 200, however, you really must hear it combined with one of these cabs. It's one of the best head/cab combinations I've ever heard.

Thanks again, Alan! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
