Vitavox produced a 2x15 RCA/Westrex type bin. In the seventies I saw some being used in a rehearsal studio in NW London being used by Geordie. They weren't 6 x4 though probably 6x3x3. ------------- For sidefills, can we have two enormous things of a type that might be venerated as Gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his pants. |
