Martin Audio 115

Toebaik. Look underneath the martins. Lab horns built by me. I have done plenty of hard speakers. The reason was I really did it to the same speck as Tony. All rebated by hand router. Then all the handles and then all the paint etc.. Do you have a pic of yours please? I can upload build pics. These are done rite. 

I never forget the first Thin Lizzy headlining tour with a big Entec Martin Audio rig with twelve 1x15s a side, when the sound check started as usual with the drum kit and when Brian Downey hit the bass drum for the first time one of the lighting guys was walking across the stage in front of the PA stacks and he was physically blown off the stage with the air movement pressure---never seen this happen again in my touring lifetime.

I would say that they were probably Gauss loaded as most of the companies based around London and the south of the UK tended to use Gauss as Mike Cotter used to look after them really well with supplies of drivers and also very quick on the reconing front---We had some Mega 1x15s similar to the Martins and they were loaded from the factory with E140 JBLs and we hated them as they did nothing but honk a lot but after changing back to some older K140s it cured the problem---never been a fan of the E140 sound to this day.

Yeah--Mike Cotter was one of the nicest blokes that I have ever met in the music industry and he would go out of his way to help anyone with a problem.
As regards the comparison between Martin 215s and 115s, the double bin always seemed to have the edge over a pair of stacked 115s probably down to the drivers coupling inside the cabinet---we used to have a mix of both cabinets available from stock as some venues were difficult to get the double bin in/out of and they were very difficult to stack three high(no wimps back in those days) and probably the reason why I now have permanent back pain!!!!!

Yes please! Thank you! That would be very helpful!

Without a doubt I want the PDs. But at 400quid a pop here. Don't think the wife would allow it. I don't make enough money off the sound to warrant it.
