I would prefer it if I could Connie Chung, but consider me Chunged for the evening.

That was going to be my answer until Rod showed up.
why is it hard to transport?Hmmm, I was thinking more along the lines of Bevis and Butthead.
The HT322 is an absolute beast! I run a 400watt SS head thru mine with the amp volume set around 2 (out of 10) and the onboard volume of my Greco IV or my Korean or China Capped Goth at about 3 and it nearly tears the walls down. I’ve had neighbors notice (inside their houses) that I’m playing bass inside my house if I raise my onboard or amp volume any higher. The BlingBird is actually the loudest of my Tbirds when the onboard controls are maxed. That Berg cab just delivers in spades with zero distortion or farting. Shame it’s such a pain to move, my 610 Berg is 1000% more portable.
At least you couldn’t fit in a Susan Dey comment. You know where that would lead.
Yes folks, it's rod and wang night here at the thunderbird club. Don't forget to tip SNICKER your waitress!
Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest.
Actually it’s an odd design that uses two 10” speakers plus a 12” speaker and a horn in a ported cab. It’s supposedly super efficient so it gets plenty loud without much effort.
The form factor isn’t as conducive to loading in and out as it should be. 25” high (not including casters) by about 24” wide and about 18” deep. Weighs about 100 pounds and sits on 3” casters. The handles are on the sides, so it’s practically too wide to carry through a single door head on and just as difficult to carry through sideways (plan on rolling it thru the door vs carrying it). A total PITA to get in and out of a car or up or down stairs. The hefty casters work good on flat surfaces like sidewalks and parking lots (but those aren’t always very smooth so carrying it may be the better option). Really requires a full size dolly to move it safely and with any degree of ease, or a second person to help carry the load. But by God, it sounds like pure heaven!
IIRC the sensitivity rating is up around 102db.

Rickenbacker made a bass amp (Series 200 Transonic) with a 30" speaker in the late '60s.

According to this carbonated beverage map that would be spot on, Scott. I grew up in Troy(Tri-City Area) and it was soda. I never heard anyone call it pop until I moved to Michigan.
Sounds like a…

I think his amp sounds terrible. My 2013 Gibson Thunderbirds sound a lot closer to the VP in that video than the CP.
