This is NOT an amp.But it will work well with any one that you have. The secret is that you must have 2(two)of these cabinets to get the full effect.As they were originally sold in sets as VOCAL cabinets. As STEREO Cabinets for Vocals there is NOTHING on the market today that can match these TWIN "FRONT LOADED HORN"MONSTERS used at WOODSTOCK! They did'nt care about the RAIN!

Sound Quality : 10
SORRY! NO DISTORTION here. Even when Joe Cocker "Sang outta tune" his voice was still IN tune with a little help from his friends THE 401'S.

Reliability : 10
These are made of solid OAK not plywood junk.They are built to outlast the Singers perhaps even their grandchildren.

Out of Business. Besides if you are lucky enough to have found one or TWO of these. You won't need them anyway. These speakers came with a LIFETIME warranty. YOUR LIFETIME or about 80yrs. This company was most helpfull in making an almost Indestructable Speaker!

Overall Rating : 10
I have been using them 30yrs. I fished them out of that big rainstorm years ago. I use them in combination with two Altec/Lancing 811B horns.There is just NOTHING that sounds better for VOCAL/Stereo Sound then these.NO!they cannot be replaced.BUT!as I said these are made of solid OAK and they are some HEAVY MOTHER PHUCKERS!even with wheels!

Woh this things old. The cabs probally from the 70's or 80's. Actually its just a 2x12 cab. Yeah I know it aint an amp but Harmony-Central should make a section for them. The cabs got 2 huge ass 12s. The speakers magnets are square. I think its totaly awesome. It cant handle a ton of power starts pushin hard under 50 watts.

Sound Quality : 10
Acoustic was a bass amp manufacturer. So the cab can really pump out bass, nothing guitar cabs can regularly do. Id deffinately take these over Marshalls.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Im pretty sure Acoustic is gone.

Oh Ive got this linked with a Mesa 50/50. One thing is its mass. Its as big as a 4x12 almost. but it sounds as big as a 4x12 with out the extra Dbs.
