Side By Side 2x12

and that is an issue that is EASY to figure out with a guitar rig.

Have you ever noticed how i you walk even a couple steps out of the direct path of a guitar cabinet all the midrange clarity disappears? Or how the audience right in front of the guitar cab is sticking their fingers in their ears because it's so loud but that the guitarist can barely hear it as the sound flies past his knees?

Have somebody setup a typical Marshall (or any 412 or 410) guitar stack, crank it up and play it. Then go out front and listen starting far off to one side and walk over to the other far side. Be ready to plug your ears when you get on center with that thing, but you'll notice, you don't have to get very far off center before it stops peeling your face off and starts turning to mud again.

Yes, sarcasm. It's what I do. Hence the :)

The point was orientation is relative to the receptor and boundary location. Source and receptor (ears) suspended in space with no boundaries would be the purest representation of the sound. Not thinking outside the box, but thinking in a different box nearby, so to speak. Have an excellent day! (sincerely!)

are they all laying on top of eachother? If so, then yes, good idea.

My guitarist upgraded from an AC15 to an AC30. First of all the AC15 was more than enough second the AC30 is amazingly directional. I was standing directly in front of it about 5 feet away and it was ear-bleedingly loud. I move just a few feet to one side and the volume drop was noticable. My guess is the previous owner had the same experience as he was willing to do an even trade.

Converselly, my vertical 212 sounds the same over a very wide arc.

Doesn't seem to much of an "upgrade" at all then...
