I just blundered across an unfamiliar cabinet manufacturer while surfing Ebay. The name is Dr. Bass and they appear to compete in the lower end cost part of the hifi bass speaker market. Their cabs have a couple of positive reviews in Harmony Central (Let's see...that means at least 2 people like them?) and the manufacturer/seller's Ebay feedback is all good from 19 cabinet purchasers. I don't know a thing about the manufacturer except that their site is intriguing, though very short on details. Prices shown on the web for 2 way cabs are low (between Acme and Avatar ranges) and the line ranges between 15" and 10's with various horns and tweeters. The Ebay listed cabs (Model 1260 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3709336375&category=10171&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA%3AIT&rd=1) are 3 way designs featuring neodymium drivers. These designs do not appear on the site, as the Dr Bass folks explained, the 3 ways are new models. They come in a 12/6/horn for $399 and a 10/8/horn $??. Dr Bass (Mark Serio is owner) says the neodymium lets the 12" 3 way weigh only 34 lbs! and with a low end down to 30hz. Now that's intriguing... Anyone know anything about Dr. Bass? Bill |
