Above all the sound that made me choose this baffle.
But I realize that to use the facility with which it can carry is a tremendous asset to the concerts.

In fact, it's just one of the best power / weight and power / size!
Coupled with a Little Mark II, the sound pressure delivered is impressive. I happened to play together without being taken, while the rest of my group was on a sound system of several thousand watts ... (And yet I'm only 8 ohms!)

SOUNDS

The sound remains for me the most important criterion. It is accurate and right, and retains all these qualities at very high volume. The reserve power is so immense, it is impossible to take this cab in default.

The grain of the instrument is really respected, and the smallest nuances are transcribed. Rendering in the low sub-bass, midrange and pretty much surpasses that of other models that I listened. I think the single point for improvement would be the extreme treble, which seem a little too far forward. But the adjustable tweeter can be easily remedied, allowing treble adjustment to personal taste.

Importantly, in applications that require less power (small bars, jazz ...) is excellent too. Sound very warm and very present, the notes stand out with great clarity. This helps to hear and be heard without much push her beyond measure. I think it's a rare quality, not found necessarily in high-end, which is more appreciable in some contexts.

OVERALL OPINION

To summarize, this cab is incredibly versatile, and really knows adapt to all situations. He will always find its place in a small bar, but will never run out of power for big scenes. And whether to finesse or play on a big stage annoyed by shaking the soil with low B, it will always be a treat!
