Avatars lack range?

[Alex]

I read the BP review on the Avatar 210, and they said that there was breakup below E. I just wanted to know if this was the case with all Avatar cabs, or just the 210. I play 6 string, so I need to know that it can handle the range.

The Delta 210 does breakup some when you play the low B heavily at loud volumes. I am not sure about the Neo and the Kappa. The other cabs are fine though(112,212, and 115). I use my 210 with a 112 to make up for the lack of bottom and it rounds out the tone just fine. You should be fine if you don't live on the low B and don't play too aggressive.

The Delta 10 and Kappa Pro 10 are not well suited for use below 80 Hz. The Delta Lite 2510 is a better choice.

I was thinking specifically of the 212's. Anyone know about these?

I have a 2x12 with the Neo speakers... sounds great, and no breakup at all on the low B.

Yep. And for the 212 cabs the Delta12LF is a better choice then the Deltalite 2512 (neo).

SB112 delta handled the low B easily. 2 of them together with 1000watts each was impressive.

No problems with a low B from my 410 Neo or 212 DeltaLF.

 

[Figjam]

my 212 is great.

 

[bassjus]

No problems with my SB112 Neo.

Yeah, the only ones that have terminal fartitis seem to be the Delta 10 loaded ones. I should have mentioned that the Neo12 loads are just shy on low end to my tastes. But they don't seem to have burrito fever anytime some powerful low frequency urge is exhibited.

 

[Figjam]

heh... burrito fever.

My B410 PRO sounds amazing!!

 

[draginon]

my 212 is great.

so is mine but i dont have a 5 string

My B212 Neo handles my 5er down to low Ab just fine although I suspect the Delta would be a little more focused on the low, low notes. No complaints for the Neo, though.

 

[Alex]

Does anyone have experience with low F# or high F strings on the avatar 212 delta? Did the Avatar handle it fine?

 

[greenboy]

I'm not aware of an Avatar 212 delta.

Any speaker cabinet will break up on low notes if you turn it up loud enough. As often as not it's the power amp that is crapping out. This is kind of a silly post.

That said my Neo 410 does just fine up to the 550 watts I can power it with.
