I play through an old Acoustic 370. I love it. But I've been in the market for a new cab... How are the new 8x10s and 4x10s? Nice? Cheap? even Playable?

You might wanna rethink this... Stacknobuser posted some specs on what the B600H puts out at 8 ohms and I cant remember the exact number but it was a higher wattage than the 115 is rated for.
Do a search for B600H here in threads and youll find it. Id get the 4x10 first since its rated higher (I wanna say its 325 compared to the 250w the B115 is rated at) and add the B115 later..
i just saw an acoustic 8x10 today at gc. looked pretty sweet! didnt get to try it thought. has anyone used it?
Alright cool. I bought it last night and I'm gonna take it back today. I decided to exchange it for the head and cabinet.
Yeah, I was able to get a little one on one time the other night with the rig (Acoustic B200H, B410 and B115, wasn't using the B600H at the time) and my Ibby 6 String Active, went into the passive input btw, it's certainly been awhile since I've picked up the 6 but after a couple of seconds of just hearing the thing come through the stack, I thought I was going to cry (JOY of course)
. Certainly does the 6 justice like all the rest of em, really cool moment.
Play On!

It's great to see so many people having good luck with the new Acoustic amps. But I've got a basement full of the old stuff, and just today I finally completed what may be the ultimate Acoustic rig, with the acquisition of a 301 cabinet. I've had my 370 for a while now and it's sounded great with every cabinet I've used with it, but I've always wanted one of the originals to go with it---the cabinet that was made for it, the mighty 301. Finally, a good deal on a relatively nice one came my way:
By the way, this rig is amazing. The sound must be heard to be believed.

Turns out I'm not goint to make to GC after all. I found out that I have to work Friday (day after Turkey Day), and that was when my wife and I had planned to go. :scowl: So I'll have to wait a little longer. My birthday is in Febuary though...hmmm.
BTW, I think I've decide on the B200 combo. It seemd to be more fitting for my situation. Thanks for the help.

That is a pretty cool bass, and it matches up well with the 371 rig (although, I suppose that is to be expected!).

Thanx Owl for putting me on the list.
You know we have an "Owl Club" in Old town Roseville and last year I gigged there 3 times. Tiny stage, fun place. Left my 370 and 2 301 cabs behind because of the small stage, brought my 2 SWR Goliath III cabs and Sunn concert bass amp. Have a great Thanksgiving

I'm number 28.5 or so.
I don't get a whole number because I quit using my old Acoustic rig a few years ago.

I tried to call my Long & McQuade about the Acoustics, but they also didn't have them.
If you don't mind not being able to try them out, you can still order them from Musician's Friend or GC.
