Big E Speakers Part 4 - Quadraphenia

Sooooooooo,
Just left mike's and played this beast...

Wow, just wow.
 
It was so easy, full, and beautiful. Not that the other cabs aren't. But I played several of my favorite lined up in a row, switching from cab to cab.

I feel this is the ultimate in balanced tone without too much tweaking. Individual tastes WILL vary.

I can't wait to play this thing in a band setting and watch jaws drop from the HUGE sound out of such a small box! Suck it guitards!

Please, no more GAS. But, yes, suck it, guitards.
 
I am hopeful that lousy bassists who do not own MAS cabs can attend the GTG too...

I did coin the term vortexitude after all...

^ That contribution qualifies you! I am trying to keep the numbers somewhat limited so it does not turn into a cacophony like GTG's can. But people who have been watching the thread, and contemplating making an order with MAS, but wish to try them first should attend.
It's also a private assoc. hall, that normally is not rented to the public. I have an inside track.
1pm start time till my friend, who is a member and will be present has to go. 4 or 5pm maybe. I will PM people as the date gets closer.
 
@mntngrown, how does the Flex 210 compare/contrast to the 4x8?
Do you mean 48 or 46? If 48, I'm all ears :woot: . If 46, well I'm still all ears, lol. I'm anxious to hear this & all MAS info, but as wonderful as the 46 surely is (of that I'm certain), I don't expect this to be an overly fair comparison. From the MAS site, I'd expect the best comparison (& it looks like it'd be a really excellent one) would be a Flex 210 & the brand new MAS1200VOG, a combination of a 46 & 110. Betting lots of similarity with the Flex 210 more bottom-oriented & the MAS1200VOG more midrange-specific. Just a guess, though.

Nomatic posted a comparison of the Flex 210 Mod compared to the Sub (from the 210) with a 46.
I suspect that's spot on for the non-modular comparison (the Flex 210 with the MAS1200VOG).

BTW, Mtngrown has a Flex210 FS in the Classifieds here for ridiculously cheap...

My humble opinion - at this point the difference between cabs is like the difference between the robes of the angels dancing on the head of a pin - you're gonna be happy with either one.

No question the end result would either be happy, very happy, or deliriously happy. Probably the last one :thumbsup: .
