I need help. Unfortunately I have never heard the Carvin PA speakers in action but I have heard the SP3's. They are very similar speakers comparing specs and drivers. Can anyone tell me their experience with either of these speakers. I am a Carvin guy through and through so I want to believe that the Carvin is a better quality speaker. Thanks for the help! I need to make a purchase soon.

Did you like the sound of the Peaveys? their reliability is near legendary. My experience with both of these companies is that their products are very competitive with each other, at least in the speaker department. I have never heard the SP3's however I'm going to stick my neck out and say I would be quite surprised if they sounded as good as the TRX.

Comparing PV to Carvin, I think the TRX compare more favorably to PV's QW series than the SP series. Just my 2 cents.

You will be much less likely to blow the drivers by sticking to the continuous rating, not program. I suggest an amp that delivers 600@8ohms/1200@4ohms like a QSC PLX3602 or similar. 1000 watts@8ohms is way too much. These boxes are pretty efficient, they don't need to be pushed hard to shine.

But I have that same picture saved on a thumb drive lost somewhere in my room.

This looks eerily familiar....

Great to see it come to fruition. Did my JBT build a while back plant the seeds for this at all...? I'll pop some pics of mine up later - I didnt notice but is there an option to do a flame board and neck...?

I know Mark pulled Jasons old spec card for mine...

Rob, I love that guitar of yours.

I ask because I want to spring for a pair tomorrow but am told Neo drivers are no longer, even though they are listed in their brochure and on their website.

The hunger that is Carvinitis knows no satisfaction. The more you 'feed,' the more you need.

Twilightdusk is right... My xv112 is the same way, at low volumes, it's a bit fizzy, and the presence makes it fizzy too, but turning up the master a touch, and trading presence for a touch of treble really helps.

After reading Bundy's revelation, I tried Master at 7 and channel volumes at 3 and set to 50W today while the house was empty. The amp really gets tight and responsive! My ears are ringing after 1/2 an hour at that level but it was worth it. I'm new to the tube world and find this v3m + 212 to be very flexible if you take the time to tweak all the knobs and switches to find THAT sound like so many others have said. It's fun to play when you can literally feel the sound at those levels

If you mean the one below, I agree. Although, ST300 isn't carved and my neck will show through.
I hope mine turns out that nice. Seems like the selection of wood makes a huge difference.
(keeping my fingers crossed).

Just pitch the sovtek EL84s, and run it at higher master volume. So long as you aren't using drastic EQ settings (presence 8+ highs 8+ ect...) there's no fizz.

Replacing the pre tubes does help, but I didn't notice anywhere near as much difference as swapping out the EL84s. I don't know what it is with this map, but it sure loves JJs over EHs and mullards

His point is that Igor is a very talented musician.
