Would be a great time for sure. You’d get to play an amp that’s capable for the first time of automatically cutting low end playing high registers and boosting lows at low registers, automatically. No gimmicks, no channel switching features, no BS.
The eminence seem to have a fairly aggressive natural scoop to them - I probably wouldn’t have scooped the V as heavily in the mids as you would typically with V30s. Both amps sound great though. 5150 seemed a little bloated in the 300Hz range but the mids sounded good. Mark V seemed to sound...
Sounds like I need to fly out to TX with the prototype to put up against some stacks of the baddest Wizards around. Either it reigns king or I’m not content. I’m shaking concrete basement slabs with greenbacks and no boost so I’d be curious what it can do with real cabs.
Couple people bring some badass cabs, a lot of people bring badass super rare or popular amps, everyone that wants to play gets a turn at turning knobs and cranking on amps through various cabs together one at a time. We all walk away with new world perspectives.
I’ve heard nothing but bad from Nesstone. My opinion is that he buys bad grade tubes at discount and resells or doesn’t test what he sells and buys in bulk. And yes I have bought from him in the past. One of the tubes I ordered from him literally shattered in my amp from glass defects.
Got an email that you can no longer order tubes from the tube store. They aren’t shipping Us orders anymore due to tariffs.
What are some reliable tube sources for tubes? That’s where I order most of mine.
You can hear the extended low end the speakers are able to hold together and reproduce. That’s one thing eminence speakers have always been able to do musically over many others. These things just sound great no matter how they’re recorded.
Who said anything about unsafe conditions? Either you understand reactive power and know what you’re doing or you don’t and you err on the side of caution. There’s no wrong either way.
