Changeling Cabs vs Hathor Cabs

Hathor and Changeling are basically the same design. Changeling has an additional rear-firing mid driver(s).

Both are effective for monitoring when stuck very near the cab. And they sound great. Probably the best I could hear myself on any stage in the time that I had them.

I wouldn't hold out for a Changeling if it came down to availability, unless you are often stuck behind your cab or a drummer complains about not being able to hear you. I suspect there were many more Hathors made and see them more often in the Classifieds vs the Changeling.

Thunderchild is the "flat response, good for upright" cab.

My mistake! Thanks for the correction!
