A stack of 4 186 loaded was silly, if we had been playing anything like techno or psy it would've blown your face off (though it was only used as a kick section and we reealy had no need for the ridiculous head room) 2 is great as a kick section above our subs. the only minor flaw is the size, they're significantly larger than the HD15 and single USB.

You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.

Yes :) .. size matters !
They are designed to be capable for use as bass solution even if used without real subs (of course than must be used in stacks of more cabinets) USB-s are primary designed as kick section for use with LAB-horns .. so a bit smaller but also with a bit less low extension than ES-18BPH. If you plan to use ES18-s without additional subs under I'll recommend to use them coupled in stacks of at least 4 per side. Best wishes |

Just do it! ..or do not.. ;)

I have HD15's and USBs. In my opinion the USB's are much better, which would lead me to believe that the ES18's would be too.

I have 4xHD215's, they are usually used for house or hard dance events and have always been more than adequate,a club I used to frequent used USBs and i couldnt really hear much of a difference other than perhaps the USBs had a harder edge, if that makes sense?

I've found USB's to be considerably louder. And generally beefier sounding. Edited by Spesh - 07 May 2010 at 10:53pm |

I'm only going by what I've heard, perhaps the clubs LMS settings could have been better for the the cabs they were using. |

im leaning towards building ES18's at the moment but (as i'll prodomenently be playing psytrance) am finding it hard to just say go for it as the HD15 fan club is pretty sizeable! i know one of my favourite rigs uses cabs with 2x15" drivers(jodies opus). but do they run that with subs also? or is it just large enough stacks? and would the HD215 cut it along side of these i ask my self.
