Main rig is UL-112 + WWU but I'll occasionally bring out the big rig.

Hope to add another UL-112 and a UL-310/410 in the near future.

can i join?
if you squint that's me with a UL series1 210 and 212 stack. RnB machine.

More importantly, I heard that the manufacture of speakers is now being built in china?
has anyone else heard this? what do you think?
Apparantly Nick Epifani says they sound better.
I was thinking about getting another UL212 but now i'm not so sure

This is false. He switched from European made B&C to American made Eminence drivers. I don't know where you got your information, but it's bad.

like the pj I had, having that J pup there really makes those things very versatile, and the slap tone can be very close to a jazz. At least when he was slapping, I wasn't thinking a p sound at all.

not knocking p only basses at all.....

Already have a 4x10 (series 1) Epifani cab and run through an Eden WT800c amp.
I am looking for a second cab and don't know whether to go with a 1x15, 2x10 or another 4x10?
If i decide to bi-amp (as i used to do with my old Eden cab setup) would the 1x15 be the better option?

Here is richard ruse's (from Epifani) email that he sent me when asked if the new speakers were being built in china.

"Evan,
The cabinets are only assembled in China. All of the components are shipped from the States to China where they are loaded into the cabinets and then tested to our specifications. The drivers are made here in the States by Eminence and are the exact speakers we were loading into the cabinets here. The cabinets themselves are exactly the same except that we changed the insulation to meet ROHS environmental standards and do our part to become more "green". According to Nick Epifani the new insulation is more expensive and better sounding with the net result being less sound damaging resonance - the goal of all speaker designers! The grills are a little different but there is zero impact on the audio quality.

With this move to China we can employ a more consistent, more sophisticated method of manufacturing our cabinets. Additionally, the goal is to keep a larger supply available to our customers - something that had been difficult to accomplish with the current manufacturing operation...

Hope that helps
Richard Ruse"

my source is reliable but i just wanted to know what does everyone think of this change? has anyone tried one?
do they sound much different?

Is this about all the Epifani Cabs, or just the PS line? I can understand this being the case for the PS line of cabs to help keep price down, but I thought the UL line of cabs where fully assembled in NYC. I thought I remembered reading that Nick employs a cabinet shop near his place in NYC, and then loads in the drivers and crossover themselves. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
