    How many watts do you run?

    That SWR Henry the 8x8 is a fantastic cab. I have 2 that I used on backline dates for dozens of different bands and it didn't matter what head I used it with, it always sounded great. Always a good complement to what was driving it. Good feel on stage and good projection. They made two...

    Are your cab and amp the same brand?

    Depends on what you got. I have a nice Eden WT-800 I run with their D410T on top of a D115T. Looks and sounds great! But some other favorites of mine are: -My '72 Traynor YBA1 on top of a SWR Henry the 8x8. -'71 Sunn Coliseum on top of a '69 Ampeg Squareback 810 that I lay on its...
