Members Crescent Seven Posted October 16, 2007 Members Share Posted October 16, 2007 I am intrigued by their designs. They seem to be a respectable operation as well. If I had the cash I'd have them build me a sick 2x12 + 2x8 biampable cab. C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crescent Seven Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 i like you line of thinkin 2x12 neo ,but explain in english the bi-ampable part... Bi-amping is where you split the low frequency signal to the big speakers, and the hi-mids and highs to the little speakers. The 800rb does this by having two separate outputs for low and high, with the high side putting out 100w and the low side putting out 300w, with separate volume controls. That way you can send the high side to a 2x10 and the low side to a 1x18 or whatever, and control their volumes individually.C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rpsands Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 I like their designs from a technical pov (e.g. lots of different driver combos, hand-wired crossovers and whatever). I think they look like they were designed by the monkeys at the zoo, though. They are absolutely hideous to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members One Bad Monkey Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 When I was in the market for a new speaker cabinet back in August, I emailed Low Down Sound numerous times asking for more information. I never got one reply. To me, that's unacceptable especially when I can email Sadowsky a question and get an email from Roger in less than two days.

Members Apendecto Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 If you live in Toledo, there is no reason not to go down there. It's less than an hour drive, why not? Again, why haven't I been there? Yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick up the phone and you will not be disappointed. Email is not my preferred method of choice, but as far as I'm concerned, if you are going to offer it as a means of communication you had better respond quickly. EA has been stellar in replying to every email I've had, even on weekends. It's all customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, why haven't I been there? Yo. +1!!! My closest decent MI dealer is over an hour away. I generally travel almost 2 hours to check out bass gear. It's not that big a deal folks. Go with a musician buddy, do lunch, pick up a CD to listen to on the way home. Let your buddy bring CDs for the trip so your exposed to fresh stuff. I dunno...I always have a great time doin' the li'l gear trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never use email because you don't know if the person is really computer saavy or not. I always call...it's easier and I get my answers quicker..also how a person speaks to me also lets me know if I want to do business with them in the first place.
