AudioKinesis Cabs Part VI...

[slagheap]

So I'm considering going with a single Hathor 1505 over my two 1203s. How much does the 1505 cost?

I think Duke said it was $800.00. I was torn between a 1505 or a second 1203. Went with the latter - can't lose either way, really.

Don't get me wrong, I love my stack of 1203s. It's just that I'm not playing much these days outside of the house and could use some cash. So I might be forced to sell one of my 1203s. I'm wondering if I could sell both, get a 1505 and still manage to pocket some cash. I'd love to hear comparisons of the 1505 to the 1203/a pair of 1203s though.[/QUO

TBer Shrigg does beta testing for Audiokinesis - posted an excellent rundown on the 1505 in this forum a couple of months ago.

Used pricing is a total crap shoot. My experience has been pretty dismal. Unless someone knows how good a cab the 1203 is or has at least heard of AudioKinesis things we've discussed earlier in the thread come into play: Duke's cabs have a homemade/prototype appearance to them and there is no badging/branding.

I don't know the price for a new 1505, but my guess is that you would not end up pocketing any cash.

See Tom Bowlus' post - page 200 this forum. Don't read it unless you want a bad new cabinet jones...

I have friends who have friends in high places... @tombowlus

Sorry if I missed anything. Do you have some specific questions?

Crap.

No sir. Just being silly.

Sad to say that I'm downsizing a bunch of equipment for personal reasons and my two new babies have to go. I love those H-1203's but other things dictate a temporary change in my situation for now. I will always love Duke's cabs. It's a sad day when I've found the sound I was searching for but to lose it for a time. I'm thinking maybe next time I'll try one of the H-1505's. I hope Duke is starting to build those.

Hopefully you will be rocking a new AK in short time. Good luck!

Thank you. BTW I love BC. Loved Vancouver. Great fish and chips!

You have my sympathy; I am going to have to let go of one of my 1203s as well.

That sucks.

 

[alaskaleftybass]

That sucks.

Thank you sir. Only for a time, though, only for a time. Maybe next time it might be the H1505!

It's only stuff, gotta take care of first things first.

tb dropped me again.

i'm back

 

[Marial]

????

 

[steubig]

their algorithm doesn't give me alerts every now and then.

 

[Marial]

Yeah, you have to visit the thread or you won't get them anymore.

 

[steubig]

i do… but sometimes it drops me and then i have to wonder why "no one is posting."

 

[nutdog]

They did change their alert protocol. It's either a constant barrage or nothing. I went with nothing and just click on watched threads occasionally to keep up. Which isn't hard these days. Not much happening except for alaskalefty's temp insanity.

 

[Marial]

I get the constant barrage (especially from the Breeder thread, wholly chit) unless I don't visit a thread. If I don't visit then the thread is just shown with binoculars next to them in the forum list.
