So far you guys have been a great help, But im still unsure of what i should get.....im getting a nemesis combo, for great price. but what should I get......4x10 or 1x15...? our band plays heavy rock, but power is always important, as the 4x10 has 70watts more than the 1x15......but apparently the 15 has deeper bass response. Which of the two are better in your experience?
If you ever had the chance to try out a 4x10 and 1x15 cabinet of the same brand, you probably would always choose the 4x10 over the 1x15 as standalone.
I actually prefer the sound and tone from my SVT15E far more than the SVT410 HE cab with horn. The 15" cab sounds smoother, fuller and very loud. Stand them either side of the stage and its the 15" cab that you can hear over the 410 cab. IVe heard that the 4x 10 cabs are faster responding and offer more punch, i would say they are both as good in that respect especially for rock stuff. Of course it depends which cabs you are looking at some are better than others.
No. I've got an SWR 4x10 sitting in my basement, right where it's been for the past year or so. I prefer gigging, recording, practicing and everything with 15's. Personal preference.
Depending on the prices you're looking at - why not get a 1x15 combo and a 2x10 cabinet extension - get the best of both and cover the frequency spectrum nicely. Might cost just about the same as a single 4x10 combo. You'll have to pay attention to the electronics of the amp/cab/etc. If you have questions on that, Ivanmike is incredibly smart (among others here) at giving good, practical advice.
