Team Trace Elliott Pt 3

So I sent my AH300 back to the shop last week because it just wasn't sounding quite right...remember I said I didn't think it was as loud as I had expected?
I got it back a few days later. It seems there was a bad solder joint in the preamp section and that was it.
Now...this thing is glorious! I'm playing it through my BFM Omni 15 which is only 8 ohm but it's horn loaded and super efficient so WOW, stand back.

Hmm sounds like the issue I am having with my AH100. I am on the waiting list for my tech, but might be good to look into this.
I ordered two of [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] today from Parts Express for $100 bucks with free shipping. The brand is listed as "factory buyouts" and the product details for the item: 'This 15" OEM bass driver from Celestion was designed in Great Britain for use in compact, high-end bass speakers.'
The first reviewer states: 'The speakers are Trace Elliot branded Celestions...'
So maybe these are older versions of the 500W ones (part no. 75-TE-BS-15500-8) that BAS carries? I couldn't pass it up so I bought two for the free shipping for when I get my second 1153...BAS charges $150 plus $80 in shipping!

Good luck, the sticker says TE BS 15300 so probably not total junk from the Far East. 3.5mm xmax won't set the world on fire but two of them should do the trick.
Hi guys,
I've searched through whatever I could find on TB but can't come up with any info on this model. It's a 2x10 combo with the GP12smx pre and I think about 300 watts. I found this ad online but they don't say much: Invalid Link Removed
It's been serviced about 8yrs ago, but don't know if it is loud enough for gigging or if it's even worth-it compared to newer technology (i.e., for a bit more I could get a new Carvin combo...etc.).
Any Trace gurus have an opinion? I'd greatly appreciate it

I have used mine on gigs....sounds great! 2 bens is decent too as long as the speakers are not toast
Hi guys here's a quick photo of my V4, gigged with it a few times now and it runs perfectly every time i turn it on, considering the price i got it for i'm very very happy with it.
Welcome JessiahIII you are member # 224
GC usually has two or three 1153 and will ship to your local GC cheaply, if not totally reliably, hence picking up from your local works in your favour.
Yes on the 12x4 trace cab. Made for guitars. Don't see em much but once in a while you'll see one on eBay.
