Real question is; “Who, on Rig Talk, had roadies to lift it for them?”

It actually looks like it's not far off average 4x12 weight at about 95lb. For reference, a Peavey 4x12MS is around 97lb, a Marshall 1960 is about 80lb, an EVH 5150III 100S is 88lb, and Bogner Ubercab is 92lb. An EV loaded 4x12 would probably sit around 125-130lb, so it's still considerably lighter than that.
Edit: Only 3dB louder than the 1200W EV cab too if I did the math right.

So this things brings back the unfortunate aspects of analog amplification such as extremely loud volume, weight, size and price tag to the digital realm. All the burden of tube amps without the tube amp tone. Who asked for that again?

Does anyone still use powered subs in their rig?

In addition to your regular cab, or is this a digital thing?

There were sub cabs back in the day

You have to double the power to add 3dB so 2600W being 3dB louder than 1200W sounds about right.

I have two of the ISP Vector 600 watt 15 inch guitar subs, and three of the ISP 400 watt 2x10 ones. I fucking love them.
But I may just be the village idiot that orders one of these Laney cabs for shits and giggles. I haven't bought jack in forever and I do have a Kemper...(that's how I'd justify it).

“Laney says you’ll get a maximum of volume of 139dB from this broad-shouldered cab. For comparison, a jet engine is typically 140dB at take-off. The LFR-412 will make itself heard comfortably above a chainsaw (120dB), and even a jackhammer (13odB), which is handy should you find yourself playing a gig with Jackyl, or maybe even Nitzer Ebb.”

If these types of cabs become the new norm for modelers, I can’t wait to start seeing threads about speaker break in

Plus you can completely bypass bringing an amp. And still have a cab onstage to keep the panties wet. Win/win

True. However different speaker efficiencies screw with that, so I was starting from efficiencies of a single EVM Pro-Line (124dB at 4ft and 300W), and then working up to a quad at full power. Adding multiple speakers is where I get a little fuzzy on the physics behind it as I haven't looked deeply into it. Note that since Laney says "maximum" I'm assuming they are using similarly ridiculous numbers (who cares how loud it is right in front of a cab?) as a basis for the calculation.

And the sound guy livid.

I don’t see the point. If you’re using the FOH for heavy lifting of your modeller, why would you carry such an overpowered cab? The sound guy would also likely play spoiler.
Of course, this could be great in the right bar gig where you’re not miced up.

I don't know, but I'm waiting for Laney to come out with a groundbreaking new analog modeler to match the cab. It'll only model one amp (for best accuracy and feel), weigh a ton ('cause of quality components), and have special glass vacuum chambers in the signal path engineered to perfectly model all the harmonics that normally get lost in the crystal lattice.
