Mike or anyone using a MAS 46.
I am thinking of adding one of these cabs to the collection.

My current gig, when in town is a roots gig that involves two sets of upright followed by a set of precision. I was wondering about the volume range on these cabs. The current cab is a tc15a designed by Duke, and made by Mike. The question is will the 46 put out the same volume or near enough as the TC? Also will it work for lower volume gigs. I saw something in the thread about the cabs being happiest with a certain level of drive to optimize the response. At the same time I would be adding one of the tube pre Minnie power amp heads, keeping the genz as a back up.

Separate question. Is anyone using a foam wedge with these, between the cab and the head to isolate the tubes? For me it would help with being able to see / adjust the controls on the amp. Any other solutions available?

Call me paranoid, but I have used a foam pad between my racks (or heads) & cabs for years, whether they have tubes in them or not.
Vibration can not be good for any electrical circuit.

Finally some comic relief! My goodness, what happened to this thread again? I stay away for a day or two (still haven't been able to go back and get caught up yet) and walk back into a full-on, Kung-fun fight scene out of a 70's Bruce Lee flick! Perhaps the mods should ban such incendiary discussion as they do for political and religious debates.

Coyoteboy, I expect a full review along with comparo's between Hot Wheels and which one is best for Metal. :D

In seriousness, im thinking of a wall mount bracket to put the 26+WA about 4' up the wall in a corner. The NS already hangs a bit up the wall to keep little hands off. Does 'in a corner=on the floor, next to the wall in terms of boundary loading? I would think so given both have 2 surfaces.

I love the MAS Lego Flex idea. Totally reconfigurable cabinet!
I'm hoping to hear about my 210 Flex Mod soon. I'll have to play a bunch of tunes from Quadraphenia - Mods vs. Rockers!
