AudioKinesis Cabs Part VI...

Anyone in the Northern California area interested in a few drinks on me? I'd love to hear some of Duke's work in person before pulling the trigger... Looking around at Cabs for my Jule amps Monique-- lots of positive reviews on Duke's cabs pairing well with it!

You can't go wrong with any of Duke's cabs. Just know the type of voicing you're going for---he can steer you the right way. He's one of the best speaker designers on the planet and definitely my mentor as far as speaker design.
 
dang, i've been away for a while. tb decided i didn't need to get updates.

Yeah since the app was terminated (for good reasons), I have not been receiving email alerts like I used to. Seems to be glitchy.

I just received a notification about "keyword" notifications. Seems pretty interesting. I guess you set keywords in your profile about items/topics you're interested in and you will receive a notification when it posts. Pretty cool as long as it works. :)

Gotcha. Which is more true to your basses (more monitor like?). I'm guessing the tc112's?

first, i have to say that in my opinion no signal chain really sounds neutral or like my bass does acoustically when i'm just playing in a quiet room with no amplification. so, for me, it comes down to find the most pleasing colorations--and for me that is often situational.

the stereo rig with the hathors has a little more high end sheen to it. also, since they're 8-ohm cabs, they're a little easier on the amp and they're also smaller. since their high end is a little more pronounced, they're a the perfect fit for the stereo thing cause i also sometimes run iPad synth and sampler stuff through this rig at the same time.

for more rocky (or what i consider more rocky) or more jazz-oriented situations, i like the tc112 (4-ohm version) because i like the lows and the way the highs work.

does that make sense?

Indeed it does. I just meant, which seems to have less coloration...more monitor like? Sounds like the tc112. I've had my Berg 112's for many years, and still adore them, but they have a pronounced midrange, and when I listen back to recordings it's too punchy and mid focused to me. I know a lot of folks like that, but I like something more even from top to bottom. I'm beginning to look at alternatives. I guess I also need to try and eq my amp more, as I tend to leave it nearly flat. I have the single channel version of your Tecamp.
