Yorkville stuff?

My still-going-strong, still-completely-original early 70's Traynor 6x10 cabinet disagrees with you.

A lot of other folks 'round here have Traynor/Yorkville stuff from the 60's and 70's that they won't let go.

I have a suspicion you're gonna take a pounding for that remark.... :hiding: :smug:

I absolutely agree! I used Traynor pretty extensively in the 80's and loved them. I'm sorry to this day that I got rid of my two 2X15 cabs and 250 watt head. They were built like tanks and sounded great....

I have an xm200 that I have used for 2 gigs and a few times in practice room. Like it a lot - surprisingly full & loud. But I will sell as I am looking to buy an xc808 to use with my sansamp RBI & A4.4 amp.

I have never encountered Yorkville and had no idea of their history. I've seen Treynor stuff, but again, have never played through their stuff. My point? Don't knock stuff you have no experience with! Given their lower price point, I had it in my head Yorkville was probably not good stuff. I'm glad to know its innovative history...what would we do without the wedge?!

Does concern me about the post about the crappy $250 PA cabs though. For that price, EV and Yamaha put out some decent cabs, not stellar, but good bang for the buck. Yorkville should be careful not to make stuff so "affordable" that they get Crated with Peavy and the like.

I use the XM200 (2 X 10) combo for practice and small gigs. Sounds great but I'm still unraveling some gain structure mysteries. It's quite easy to overdrive the preamp / EQ section creating an angry distorted attack, use caution. I also wish there was a separate input gain channel. When running to a board, I use the "Line Level" option as it incorporates the Yorkie's EQ and effects loop. The signal is hot and variable via the volume control. The soundguy usually punches in the
-20 dB pad to keeps things manageable. I paid a little more than $400 for mine.
