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...

What the hell happened to my thread?

Love the build progress. At least it’s getting the spa treatment it deserves!

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.

Just an open discussion why we don’t see ampfests anymore and my perspective that close enough really is good enough for most it seems?

I actually prefer the Ultra shockingly enough. The green reminds me of a rectifier with the mids.

These are as rare as hens teeth these days. I don’t think he’s making his amps anymore. They definitely had their own sound and sounded great to boot

I….i have questions

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.

Safest is lowest wattage x 4. However that rule of thumb exists only for safety margin. Go read post 13 for actual power handling.

Oh for sure we are in agreement here - I didn’t say it was wrong, just that it’s the safest. You were quick to correct my post though and I’m just stating a fact that it’s a lot more complicated than the answer you provided. There’s nothing wrong with erring on the safe side. Certain speakers...

That’s the safest assumption but that’s not how things work above DC. Speaker coils are inductors and are largely reactive devices that have a real and reactive power loss coefficients. Reactive power does work but it doesnt consume power - it just transduces as work. The loss due to resistivity...

I’ve been running 25W greenbacks in a 100W cab and giving them hell like there’s no tomorrow for extended periods during circuit development and they’re doing just fine. Two G12M-65 are 120W handling on their own so the cab would be around 180W when mixed with H30s.

Feedback greatly appreciated and it tracks with YouTube speaker recordings to my ears too. Sounds like it will be too much extended top end. I think instead of Creamback H75 x Anni’s, I’ll try Creamback G12M-65 x G12H30 Anni’s. The 65 creambacks tend to have a more relaxed top end and more...
