I agree with Mark. Labs do look tasty, and will be the next rig for me also, but a very long way away.
Adam; you're right about the gap. Im using Omnitop 212's for midtop and i dont want to stress the drivers too much by playing them too low. Bill Fitz reckons they can happily play down to 90Hz, but he also reckons Eminence are the best drivers. Prob because they're american like him. As far scoops for drum n bass go, i disagree Mykey. i think they can be beaten. I suppose it differs slightly with what DnB your playing through them, but i mainly play intelligent DnB from labels like Hospital, signature and Good looking recs. These tunes are far more melodic with piano, strings and almost orchestral samples. A far more progressive style of drum n bass (hence the genre title). So for this, a fully horn loaded bass would sound better. More defined bass rather than 'boomy' jump-up rollers. I reckon HD's and X1's will give me a sound pretty close to what im looking for (even tho X1's aint horns + HD's aint proper ones) and also allow my rig to be more versatile. It aint about playing live rock through scoops IMO. Horses for courses i suppose. And also the fact that many speakers have a coloured sound, some people like it, others like something else. I reckon me n Adam have got similar tastes. Safe bruv Edited by sukebe - 29 November 2007 at 9:40pm |

Again, not all scoops sound the same, same as all hornloaded 18 cabs don't sound the same
Sukebe, been listening to some HOSPITAL over the last couple of days...WOW! great stuff

fairplay Mykey. blimey something we agree on. You should check out a geezer called Calibre if you havent already. He owns the signature label. He's a wicked producer.

Can an X1 throw sound like a scoop?? For example...Which would sound better run from 30Hz - 80Hz. 4 Scoops or 4 X1s both loaded with 1850 and powered by the same amp???????
