    How much should I pay for a malfunctioning Alembic F1X?

    I know someone selling an Alembic F-1X and apparently it makes a buzzing noise, when you take the case off apparently this stops... The guy is checking to see if there are any issues with the signal but I'm expecting that there may be buzzing due to grounding issues or something like that...

    Power amp 1550 watts cab 1200watts. Is this okay?

    This is going to be ridiculously loud either way, but is it safe? am I going to be consistently spiking my cab and hence destroy it? or am I going to be fine because of the extra headroom providing I don't crank it up to 11? Amp is a Crown XLS1500 and the cab is an Ashdown ABM810

    Amp head power issue?

    Currently running an Ampeg SVT3Pro with a Sansamp RBI patched through the effects loop into an Ashdown ABM810 I find this to be generally quite noisy, I'm thinking this may be due to the fact that I'm running a head that runs at 450W@4ohms yet my cab is 1200@4ohms Would this have any...
