Traynor SB15

[Slaphound]

Does anyone know if the specified weight is correct on the Traynor website? 31lbs?

Has anyone tried both the Fender Rumble 200 to the Traynor SB15 and have any comparisons?

To me it actually felt more than 30 pounds. I didn't have them side by side, but thinking back I think the Rumble was less awkward to carry. That could have had to do with the shape of the cabinet as much as the weight. I think the Fender was lighter.

I've owned almost all the Rumbles including the 200. I put wheels on mine rather than lug it around. I've owned the SB12 and just got the SB15. I think the bigger SB15 width and depth make it seem a bit awkward to carry but I sure don't feel the need to put wheels under it. I'm also not going to weigh it. I own a Yorkville XM50 which is listed at 30 lb and it seems to be about the same weight as the SB15 at 31 lb.
BTW, for me there's no comparison in my perception of output power. The SB15 sounds louder and richer than the Rumble 200. Best that you try for yourself

My SB112 was listed at 25 lbs and weighs in at 26.5 lbs. Not bad and I'd expect the same, slight variation on the SB115 as well. It beat the pants off the three Rumbles I've owned and doesn't sound boxy at all. Great power too though it is a 4 ohm speaker. Luv it!

that 115 has DEPTH of tone and POWER too. I LUV it too

I have the three Small Block combos, and had the Fender Rumble 200 and 500 and the matching 115 cabinet.

The Rumbles were muddy, woolly, clickety clanky no matter what I did, no matter the bass. Gave up on them after two years.

The Traynors are articulate, clean, clear, rich, deep, full, warm, boomy in a nice way on the floor, less so tilted or raised, good either way.

I've had almost the exact same lineup of amps (plus the SB12 and SB15 which I still own). I couldn't have described this better.

Yet so many people like the Rumbles, they sound fine in online videos, they even sound fine in stores, and they do look nice. I felt bad letting mine go, hopefully someone else is happy with them.

All 200w go into the SB-15's internal speaker, correct?

 

[butterfingers1]

Yes, there is no extension cabinet to the 3 Small Blocks.

There is a new Big Block 115 combo coming out which will run at 400W by itself and 800W with a cab.
