HIWATT price increase!

[Klauth]

Yeah...it's very jenky as far as getting a solid message of their gear.

I drove 1,500 miles to pick up a Mesa powerhouse 4x10, and it was PERFECT! I don't trust shippers these days.

Go to their site and click on the CABINETS icon...should show raw cabinets.

Yup.

The HIWATT site has some really bad marketing pictures and verbiage very contradictory in places, although it has been getting better. their customer service is the worst I've dealt with. very hit and miss. I'm always on pins and needles when I order.

Where did you buy the Hiwatt cab? I want one to match my Super-Hi (they have a matching Super-Hi cab or the regular 4x12). But 1) holy crap... $2,500 for a speaker cab is insane an 2) nobody actually sells them in the US that I can find.

I bought all my HIWATT gear through their site. takes about a month. I chose the purple back speakers for their musicality. I'm gunna buy 2 more 4x12's and put a set of the new FANE Crescendo's in one of them so I have the full offering for my studio. probably pick up a DR88 as well. there is ALOT of interest in HIWATT but nowhere to go to audition everything all at once so, I went all in to offer it to clients. even some Hi-Tone gear as well for comparison.

Do the cabs ship from the UK or Canada?

The problem with taking a gamble on the Super-Hi cab is if I don't like it, nobody is every going to buy it because of the non-traditional format (2x12 + 1x15). So it's less of a gamble to get the 4x12. Also not sure how porting will sound with a high-gain amp like this.

Well, if you ever decide you want to buy a '72 Hiwatt 4x12, then I'm your guy.

EVERYTHING...comes from canada.... from what Ive learned, the amps are started in UK and finished in canada. I think that's where their wood shop and final assembly is.
