So... like... is Emperor ever NOT going to be restructuring?

I'm liking the stuff on their site.. they make a 2x15 cab.. it is a tempting object...

Celestions are ok for normal type guitar sounds but I for max lows? no. not even their bass speakers are very good at that, I have one of their newer 15's and it's ok on guitar but bass it flabs out, even with a 60 watt sunn and it's a supposedly 300watt speaker .

don't want to thread-poop this thing, but by the description I suppose you're talking about Celestion TF1525 and I have SURPRISINGLY good experience with that one. I have it in my Trace Elliot and I used to be a big Eminence believer but this Celestion is pretty awesome

now... it COULD be a bit more sensitive. But otherwise I can't say anything about not having enough low end. But then again... I do play in standard or drop D

Nope, BN15-300S is what I have at the moment, and it does the same thing with all my amps. The Celestion TF1525 is a better speaker [and cheaper] but still not really my favorite thing. For me if you can't crank the thing and play dub through it then a bass speaker is useless weather or not I go lower than E, even a bari tuned guitar can push a lot stuff more then I like, but then I don't like speak distortion at all

Gotcha

+1 for getting an Atlas instead pining over Emperor. Petras is a super nice dude and his prices are insanely good.

INSANELY good.

I've messaged every comparable company and the usual experience is, What the fuck, why does that cost so much? *cough*JANICE*cough*

Atlas is priced so low it seems unfair. Like you feel like asking him if he knows how much cabs are worth LOL

[waltdogg]

Yeah it's weird. Altas, Mojotone, and Avatar (although their build is shit) are all stupid affordable. I almost ordered a new unloaded Mojotone 4x12 but I passed for a used one. I remember the price and shipping was just about the same as an Atlas would be. And I did end up getting a new Mojotone 2x12 to pair with the used 4x12, they sound better than Marshall or Avatar's equivalents. That's for certain. I guess with everyone else they figures they can mark up for their or their company's name.

Iiiiinteresting!

[waltdogg]

Here's to hoping if they do come back they're not stupid expensive and a little more solidly built.

[Bellyheart]

I liked the Tyrant stuff. It is too exhausted to take on the road. Emperor is looking a little more built for speed than comfort.

Is it hard to do the doomy wood stain trick? Because I just ordered an unfinished cab from this guy: http://www.trmguitarcabs.com/

I think to do it really well it probably needs to be sprayed as opposed to brushed. I'm sure there DIY furniture videos on YouTube that discuss the subject.

FWIW I recommend satin rather than gloss once you've actually stained the wood.

One of the Emperor guys started up Dictator cabs for a minute, they had some stock at Chicago Music Exchange, very sexy cabs! Looks like it might've changed to Tyrant Cabs now, not 100% sure. They look very similar to the Dictator stuff and the company is still based out of Chicago...
