questions about head and cabinet

makes sense to me. wouldn't a bigger magnet require more power to activate it?

It's a magnet. You don't "activate" it, it just sits there and does its thing.

I have every confidence BFM knows what he's talking about, but that makes no sense whatsoever to me.

+1 me neither

a bigger magnet makes for a more sensitive speaker, so it would do more with less input.

thanks for all the input guys. the head is underpowering i can tell a little. for some reason it does not feel as powerfull as it was before; for example in practice studio there was no way i could put the volume up to 5 with my old cab. now with the basson i can put it up to 5 and doesnt feel as powerful.

ok, that implies that the cab is less sensitive, which i'm pretty sure means that the cones are stiffer and heavier, and/or the gap in the magnet that the voice coil moves through is wider. both of these make the speaker able to take more power and abuse, but they end up needing that power to "wake up" properly.

i still don't get the "minimum power" thing.

i think i am just going to upgrade and buy a power amp, and a pre amp seperately. any opinions in these right here:

i'd take a used QSC over a new b'ger any day.

IME, Crown, QSC, and Crest are all top names in power amps - can't go wrong with any of them...
