What Old Dog said about tradeoffs is the thing. If you are dependent on some stage volume, I cringe a little at asking only eight drivers to keep up (two C4 cabs). I'd go for the dual C8 stack and get that sound up closer to your ears. I don't have experience with the C8, but I use a SIX-PAK...
Henry's blow speakers because the bassist using it is expecting too much from it. The same can be said of any cabinet. I've also found that the amp and bass used can sound great or not great through a Henry - just like any other cab.
I did power a Henry with an 800rb and it was a great...
When? After I get a job (currently unemployed), pay off debt, and build my savings back up. So the real answer might be never. :crying: And I have enough gear right now that doesn't get used often enough as it is.
In addition to tube scarcity, so are competent people who can work on them in my...
Update - due to cost, the 400 was sold. I do miss that amp - recently a 400+ came up for sale but it just didn't make sense to acquire it. I hope you other aficionados are enjoying yours - maybe another will come some day!
How much more percieved volume do you need? Have you considered using a high-pass filter, like a Broughton? I wonder if that would allow you to push more volume while controlling the lows and allow you to hear it better in that context.
I'm trying to get back to my low-carb diet of eggs, sausage, bacon, etc. etc. When I was consistent with this, my doctor had no issues with my blood levels - my cholesterol dropped, so did my weight, BP, etc. YMMV, but it worked for me.
Bump because I just picked one up. Years ago I owned a SR 806, it had a trans-black glossy finish and gold hardware. Beautiful bass. It will be interesting to hear how this sounds to my others; if it's close, it will be a keeper. Sorry - no pics yet, well, at least none worth posting here...
Thank you for the detailed response. One of the replacement driver options for a Henry was a Dayton brand speaker, I wonder if those would work in your Traynor cab? And be cheaper than a brand new cabinet?
Forgive me if I'm backing up just a bit, but I'm curious as to the main problem you are trying to solve. Is it to achieve gig volume using your YBA100 via small drivers, AND take pedals well? If that's it, you'll need a lot of them - the used market is your friend, if you can find them...
This is what happens when you reply on your phone without glasses on lol. Anyway, thanks for all the help. Updates will be provided going forward.
The good thing is I have a spare that is like new; I looked at it today when playing through it and thought about when they first came out and how...
