Default NPAD!! Carvin PM10A Purchase

Well, almost. Just pulled the trigger on a new Carvin PM10A powered PA speaker. Thanks to everyone here for the input on the purchase.

Now. How I am going to explain this to the wife?! Craptastic.

Update: Just got the Guitar back for the first time with the K&K. Ran it through the Mustang on the cleanest amp setting. Sounded like an electric guitar. Shocking.

Carvin arrives Monday. Yahoo!

I own a lot of PM10 passive cabinets. Even two of the older versions in a decade of heavy usage, I've only had to replace one diaphragm on one of the high frequency compression drivers that I purchased from Carvin for a mere $19 bucks. They are solid performers and roadworthy. Made in the USA right here in North County in Poway, California. Great customer service, too. Looking forward to your next report on this factory direct purchase. Welcome to professional audio, G_Sin. You'll never look at Fender, Yamaha or JBL again for future professional sound gear. Ric

Thanks Ric!

OK, so I just spent about an hour with it. Pardon my complete lack of eloquence, but it sounds great. My voice sounds like my voice. My guitar sounds like my guitar. Well built. Good tone. Thumbs up.

With their direct sales model and made in the USA quality, I don't think Carvin can be beat from a value point of view.

Great news! If I were to do it again, or had the need, I'd get their S600 product.

Thanks MGD! I agree, the new S600, especially with battery power, looks tasty!
