Exactly what the thread title says-- what cabs or rigs did you see on stage, in a magazine, or whatever, that made you say "THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!"?
My nominees:
1) The "Big F(ri)cking Cabinet", part of a "Tri-Amp" rig that included a 1200 watt head ran the upper portion of the cabinet-- 4x10's with (2) hi-frequency drivers-- in stereo, while running the lower portion of the cabinet -- a 1x15 -- in mono as a sub. This cabinet was Gibson-era TE, but shown here with what appears to be an older TE head:
2) The Glockenklang 6-Box (6x10). I love the look of this, mostly due to the sturdy, linebacker-like stance, and the arrangement of the ports-- like a 2x10+T was placed on top of a 4x10 and the two were merged:
3) The SWR Henry The 8x8. Big Cabinet? Check! Lots of drivers? Check! Frickin' huge ports? Check! The only problem is, I feel the need to keep the number of "8's" running, and play it through a 400W tube head with (8) KT-88's!
4) The Genz-Benz NEOX-212T. Yeah, sure, you can tell me all you want about that modern vertical 2x12's from other manufacturers are more efficient for their footprint, blah, blah, blah. But no "small" cab on the market today made quite the same visual statement as this broad-shouldered, dual-symmetrical-monster-sized-port'ed beast!
5) And of course, the king of rigs, in my opinion-- The Acoustic Control Corp 360\370. I don't feel a need to comment on this further-- just let it stand on its' own:
Do you have some favorites?
