Im looking for crystal clear almost studio sound. Tight deep lows with good midrange with sparkling highs. Is there a cab this size that fits the bill?
My head is an Eden wt800 |

Not a one is even close.

Check out KJung's video's. fEarful & BFM aren't returnable, you build them (or have them built), but you would have no trouble selling them if you didn't like it. Same for any of the above cabs.

Not a one is even close. | I played the Mesa 4x12, pretty damn clear.
But then agian... I never played a fearful cab. |

| | | | I love how 810 cabs look, but the sheer size must be colossal to shift around. I always thought 2 410 cabs would be easier plus a little more directional. What is the benefit of an 810 or even a 610 cab?

Dont know if they fit the bill for what I am looking for though? Or do they? |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2011 Location: Central FL | | | I'm shopping 8x10 cabs right now, played Mesa, peavey,basson, swr, fender and ampeg so far. I found I'm really looking for the ampeg tone personally (sealed 8x10).
For what your describing ,so far the fender would be the one ( 8x10 pro) . It's built like the ampeg with 2x10's in each "box" but also has 2 small ports in each "box". So its still punchy (unlike the 8x10's with big ports on the bottom). The ports do extend the low mids and low end pretty well. It has an adjustable tweeter which I didn't find harsh like in some cabs. Imo, it was probably the best overall sounding 8x10 I have played. It handles 2000w , and has casters , handles, slide rails, kick plate, speakon, sturdy metal grill. Etc
I have not played the berg nv610 (which everyone raves about) or any of the other boutique cabs out there. There may be better, but the fender (suprisingly) was the best of the ones I have tried. I still am lusting over the ampeg punch though. With a Spector it rules. Ymmv
Moving an 8x10 is actually easier than a 4x10 imo. Tilt it back n go. If you have stairs or no truck, life might suck though. |

I detune to low A so I need a cab that can handle it with clarity and not just BOOM | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
