4x15? GAHH!!!1

It makes sense. A 100 watt tube amp can be pushed into that tube compression area, whereas an SS amp hits that digital "brick wall." But doesn't driving a tube amp past the rated headroom mean that you're "getting more watts" from it, so to speak?

Solid state amps are not "digital".

I'm not gonna bash the cab because I haven't heard it, but when I did see it my first thought was it would sound muddy/lack clarity. I have to go get a strobe tuner later today so, if they have one of these on the floor I'm going to give it a try to see if my initial thought is correct.

As for the weight, yeah it's heavy but, it's got casters so moving it isn't probably that bad. You'd just need some help picking it up which is not really that big a deal.

A fridge will at least keep your food cold. This thing will only prove to your friends what they always suspected.
 
I've always wanted to play through 4 15s just for giggles but not in one cab & if it were in one cab I'd rather have a skinnier cab where the 15s were diagonal like the Berg 610. Anyway, probably wouldn't buy it or anything but always thought it'd be fun to play through 4 15s.

When I saw Hendrix at the Fillmore on New Years' Eve, Billy Cox played thru four Sunn 2000S cabinets (2-15 each). That's eight 15s.
