Or something else? Looking for small, light, loud, and (obviously) clear, powerful lows and highs. I have a Genz Benz Streamliner 600.
The Schroeder seems to win interms of poer handling and weight, but the EA has superior sensitivity and is about $100 less. What do you say?

Neodymium is now very expensive so neo drivers will be hard to get and extremely expensive....Duke won't be able to make me my Tots.....

|  | Is this thing on? | | Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Where else? In the dog house. | | | The wizzy 10 I had for couple of months was nothing short of amazing. Just not quite enough for what I need now, but I can't imagine anything better at 15lbs.
The LDS 12/6 nearful (36lbs) that just arrived in the mail is impressive. Clear and powerful is how I would describe it, but I haven't used it with a band yet. In the basement, it's been able to handle anything the shuttle 9 could throw at it. A very clean sounding rig. Possibly too clean. Jury's still out.
I haven't played a Schroeder.
It is interesting. Pricing to build a fEarful last week and the 3012ho was on sale for about $140. Same place has them now at $250. Must be lots of neo in that speaker. Apparently the LDS was a timely buy. I've never bought low before. Buy high and sell low has been my life story. |

The Wizzys are non-neo so they should not go up. They do tend to come in 4 ohm though, but apparently 8 ohms are available if you work for it.
The wizzy is a 30LB cab. Rare for non-neo, I think.

| Std is 4 Ohm but they are easily ordered in 8 Ohm from any dealer.

Editor-in-Chief, Bass Gear Magazine | | Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: North central Ohio | | | I prefer the Wizzy by a wide margin, but if you want deeper lows, go for the M-line Wizzy. And if you want more high end than what the Wizzy delivers, then I might suggest looking at a cab with a tweeter. As others have suggested, the fEARful builds are just amazing (I have a 12/6cube/1 and a 15/6/1) and they definitely compete with the best in the business. Speaking of which, the Bergantino AE112 should definitely be considered as well.
Finally, I'm going to suggest the GK Neo112-II. It is lightweight, has great lows, very nice highs, goes plenty loud, and is one of the better "bang for the buck" cabs out there.
Hope this helps, Tom. |

I would really love to try one of the M Line Wizzy cabs but you just never see them outside of captivity.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
