New Glockenklang Head - Blue Sky

I don't have much experience with other manufacturers' cabs to compare the Space Art to, as I have always used Glockenklang cabs. I would describe the Space Art as being a very faithful, uncolored transducer, and at the same time allowing the sound to cut through very effectively, whereas the Acoustic Art only was uncolored but nothing else.

Cheers,
Vincent

Have you compared the Space Art to the Space Deluxe?
 
I did, it's a fantastic head. A little more headroom and power than the blue soul. A lot more tone shaping capabilities because of the mid sweep. A little bit more in the mids than the blue soul. I like it more than the blue soul, but most of that has to do with the mid sweep. Overall more similar than different, the sky also seems to have a little more of an organic top end, but that may just be in my head, very close in my trials so far.
 
Hello,
I just want to buy this head, but i dont know which version to choose : 2,7 Ohms or 4 Ohms, my main cab is Bergantino CN212,
i really think buying the 2,7 Ohms Version but is 450 W under 4 Ohms will be enough ? :-D
if you have a suggestion :-)

The only thing the 2.7 version will allow is for you to add a CN112 to your CN212 for very large gigs.

I had very good luck with my Blue Soul putting all 650 watts into my CN212 (Blue Sky is slightly higher power). So, if you are pretty sure your CN212 will handle any gig you will do, you would be throwing away power with the 2.7ohm version. If you regularly need more oomph than the very high output CN212 for your gigs, then all 700 watts of the 2.7ohm version driving 3 12's will be the voice of god.
 
Here's a picture of the Blue Sky ontop of Mike Arnopol's MAS 46. What a deadly combo!

Just got the 46 yesterday. First Impressions on the Blue Sky:

Warm with a sledge hammer bottom that is focused. You can dial in what you need very easily. It's a great fit with the 46!
I haven't tried the WW yet. The Tardis is rich and creamy through the 46.

I'll have a better feel for the amps after this weekend!

The Blue Sky is very impressive !!
