Hi Folks,

Just checking in to see if anyone has had direct experience with both a thiele and oval port back 1x12 cab?

The intention is to hang onto my EV (which I love) and have swap it into either the above mentioned cab. While Nik's 1x12 is doing me fine, I'd like to try something different.

What tonal differences between the cabs is there?

Understand from reading the forums that Thiele's can be one directional while the oval port has a better spread of sound. Anyone have issues with people not hearing thiele's standing on the side in a band environment?

Any input would be appreciated!

Cheers Hurts,

Yeah if I was going for a 2x12, the oval back would def me the weapon of choice. Actually, the plan is to get one later this year paired with Celestion heritage G1265s... And guess who influenced that decision

Looking at 1x12 cabs at this stage though

I've got a G65 in a 1x12 Portcity OS cab.
Works good for me, they're open along the lower front, so they're a good compromise between open back spread and closed back bottom end. Not tuned though. Just another Aussies opinion though.

yeah that's the guy, he owes me some $$ (just kidding). He wasn't doing the D style oval backed cabs before I asked him if he could make one but I went a 2x12 TR cab , just awesome.
