Gunslinger Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Does anyone have any experience with the Avatar Cabs? I am thinking about them instead of spending a shitload on a 'namebrand' cab. I'm looking at a pair of 2X12 cabs. Any help WILL help!!!!!!!! Brainwashed by ME,Myself influenced I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hags2k Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 Avatar is good stuff, but you don't have to take my word for it. I own one, but there are plenty of positive reviews on various cabs at harmony-central.com and the most important review IMHO you can find at the website avatarspeakers.com where you can see the BassPlayer magazine review of the 2x10 cab. They gave it nearly the highest marks a cab can get, and said that it was a great sound and unmatched value. They gave it the Editor's Choice Best Buy award as well. If their 4x10s are any indication (which I own), then I would have to agree. Dave, the owner/operator is personable, willing to help, and does the best customer service I have yet to experience....EVER. One of the speakers went bad in my cab, and it was Eminence's fault (which they don't do very often AT ALL) and with one email he had apologize profusely and sent me out a replacement that day, and is quick to do whatever he can to please his customers. I couldn't say enough good things about that cab or the company. unkownroadband.com - step into the unkown :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg and Sterling Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 I have the 210 and I'm very happy with it. It was also a great deal and Dave provided excellent service. I'm out my league like Jordan was in baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplitNick Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 I have heard nothing but good...I can't wait to save a few $$$ and get one...What an awesome deal for a cab.

ClarkW Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 My 2x10 and 1x15H should be arriving today. Once I get the preamp and poweramp in (later this week) I'll let you know how mercilessly they put to shame my poor little SWR Workingman's 12.

Mr. Phil Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I have an Avatar 2x10 and 1x15 (w/o tweeter) going through a Carvin R600. THESE CABS ARE AMAZING!!! I wish I had the money to go buy a 4x10 and 1x18. lol Thats in addition to what I have.

Lawnmower8 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I have an Avatar B210 cab, and it's great. I'd buy another cab from them right now, if I had the cash. Dave rules. "Tea & Cake, or Death!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg and Sterling Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I just hooked up my B210 to my new GK400 RBIII and played my Sterling through it. My satisfaction continues, now I just want some money for the 15" I'm out my league like Jordan was in baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanYmaL X Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Go for it. You won't regret it. <----- I did. And I don't. A 2x10 for my Acoustic 320W amp and a 1x15 for my Carvin/Avatar rig are on the plate now... but not for a while... $$$ you know.

SplitNick Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I am now completely convinced...Have about six gigs this month and what does not go towards bar tabs goes to Avatar....I think the Kappa 212 model...Now I am just all anxious...

Lawnmower8 Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I would just like to reiterate how happy I am with my Avatar cab... I never thought I'd get used to a lil 2x10 thing after playing through nothing but a behemoth Hartke 2x15XL cab for almost a decade... but the little Avatar baby has got some serious low end... I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a inexpensive alternative to the big name cab makers... Now, I just need some more gigs... "Tea & Cake, or Death!"
