Members walkerci Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I heard a pair of the PR410HLF cabs last night. Awesome tone. I was very impressed. Two problems: 1. They weigh 128 lbs EACH.2. They cost over $1,000 USD EACH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Ampegs best cab, IMHO. Used to have the classic HLF, but it was too damn heavy. Now I want another Avatar neo 410 so i can make a proper stack, @ 130 lbs for the lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zeromus-X Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 PR410HLF cabs go for next to nothing used. I sold mine for $350 because they're ridiculously expensive to ship and a pain to move. Kinda like big ol' PA subwoofers. Being heavy sucks but that's what moving dolleys are for.

Members L-1329 Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Two problems:1. They weigh 128 lbs EACH. There is no way I would get a 410 that weighed that much no matter how good it sounded. And moving dolly's don't help you lift those bastages into and out of the car, as well as up and down stairs. Cabs that need two people to move are useless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragon9666 Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I can move my 8x10 myself, but I dont have to bend down as muchas I would a 4x10. Its got the towel bar and tilt back casters. The sliders on the back help too.Its a biatch, but its worth it in the end when I crank it up!

Members Kelemvor Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 It just comes with the territory I guess. Drummers have their hour of setup/tear down time, bass players struggle with their heavy ass gear, and guitar players start flirting with the girls immediately after putting away their Classic 30 combos. Of course, this is just an example from my limited gigging experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zeromus-X Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 you guys sound old.........wieght is the last thing i look at when buyin Go book yourself 4-5 days straight of four hour sets, 9:30 to 1:30, with no help loading in and out except the occasional bandmate who you can con into it. Make sure the place has some stairs, and a small door-like entrance, too. Then tell me how much weight matters! If my Meyer didn't give me such a damn good sound I'd have sold it ages ago.
