We left room above the 15 for guys who like to do cabinet mods.
I'm guessing the 3015LF is for dudes looking to do a home brew 15/6 type thing? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Austin, TX | | | So,, how is the 3015LF option a 4ohm cab? I thought that driver was 8ohm only. This is why there are no 4ohm fEarfull cabs till you get to the 15/15 or 12/12. That is the same driver, right? Am I crazy?? |

Yes, nice. Lots of guys love this amp. Excellent amp. For me though, I like a GK MB800 @ $539 shipped better.

I dont know if they are offering their TB153 with non LF's though. So they may not show up as an option if it requires an investment into an additional driver.

I think Dave will be giving up a lot of potential sales, though, without offering the 3015. Of course, on the other hand, there are probably lots of cab buyers who have never even heard of the 3015. For them a 15 is a 15 is a 15.

Makes you wonder, do that use that and not use bracing they way you would with 1/2"? Save a little bit of money by using thicker wood and less build time?

Not my cup of tea for sure, but this could be the ultimate 15 for guys who think mixing cabs is a good idea.
Avatar will never capture the fEArful/Barefaced/Thunderchild/Baer/Acme/BFM crowd anyway (My apologies for not listing all the kick-ass super cabs). But I bet they get a lot of bites on what they do offer.
time to pop some corn and watch the show... |
