I think it would be funny to power one of those with a LMII

As for mobiliy issues, I suppose one could always install a small engine in it and put some wheels on its back and just drive the cabinet itself to wherever you need it to go. Or wheels, plus a trailer hitch on top and some brake lights on the bottom... Or if you're near water you could put an outboard motor on it (assuming it floats)...

See, what you do is hide this thing in the bathtub and close the curtain on it, then when the misses comes in for her morning shower you give her the low B from hell and jump out and say GOODMORNING! then politely ask her to make some eggs and toast because, after all, you are a growing boy.

Odd arrangement. The bottom 10's passive radiators maybe?

Let's hope at least SOME of those drivers are in separate chambers!

IMO you can keep the whole thing- I prefer multiples/modulars from an aesthetic, engineering, and transportation perspective.

I tested a tec-amp 2x12 neo a couple of months ago with my aggie DB750.
Very strong low mids, very (!) punchy and warm, a great sound indeed - no question.
It lacked a bit lows to my taste, but that's of course IMO.
I played an epi 2x12 neo a few days after that, and as far as I can remember, the epi was a bit sronger in the lows and a bit less punchy, especially in the low mids.
The overall sound wasn't that much different. Unfortunately I had no chance to play the tec-amp 2x12 at a gig, that would have been a real test. But I guess it does a great job.
Another great thing was the weight, and that is an issue to me.
Easy to move the cab on my own, no problem.
What I don't like is the price, simply too much.

i never had the chance to play a bad cab, (couldn't afford one anyway) but i read some threads regarding tec-amp (former tech soundsystems) in a german board.
musiker-board.de

the owner of musik-service.de , a bassist himself, plays a bad bull /
bad cab and highly recommends it, of course not for small sized venues.

the amps are equipped with powersoft digital power modules
and the drivers in the bad cab are neos...

this stuff is some serious gear just like e.g. glockenklang

....plus shipping but minus R & D.

I've swapped technical emails with the guys at Techamp. They actually seemed to know what they were talking about in regards to their more conservative designs. So I'm going to assume they designed the bad cab with as much pride until someone can show me otherwise, or until I can get my hands on one of these babies and check out the internals.

Getting a replica made will be hit and miss at best.

I played a Tech amp and cab a couple of years back in a local store. Big rich, clean bass. Very impressive. I believe the head was 600 watts. Could be wrong. I remember the cab as being a 610. Serious sounding rig. Very impressive, but way too expensive for me.
