Tried out my new Fane speakers last night using my Line 6 Flextone II HD.
Marshall 1936 2x12 cabinet now containing 2 Fane Axiom AX 12 150 speakers. Replaced a pair of Celestion G12T-75 speakers.
Initial observations:
1) The Fane's certainly looked nice before they were fitted and thus hidden in the cab!
2) Sound seems a tad brighter and crisper than the Celestions. I increased the bass settings for some patches on the amp to compensate.
3) Difficult to measure the volume, but it certainly seemed louder. Wish I had the gear to have taken accurate before and after readings, but there you go. I run in stereo with a 1x12 containing a Celestion G12 B-150 on the other side of the stage. Receiving the same amount of power, the Fane loaded cabinet seemed to project the sound more.
4) Some sounds faired better than others. My JCM800 patch will need a bit more tweaking, but the Mesa Boogie patch was really crunchy and defined - best it's ever sounded.
Have to see how they sound when I have done a few more gigs in different venues with different acoustics.
Does anyone know if I can expect the sound to change at all when they have been broken in?
Cheers
