Hello, I'm currently designing myself a small open backed combo that I'll build to house a kemper rack, small stereo amp (Camplifier S2) and a couple of guitar speakers. It's for home use only, low to medium volume and I'm mostly playing clean to breakup tones (an EJ-ish range of gain, I suppose) I'm trying to get the design to be as compact as I can.
Currently on the fence about whether to go a bit larger with 2x10 speakers (current front runners for that are a WGS G10c and G10a pairing) or get the whole thing a bit smaller and lighter with 2x8" (probably WGS G8c or Jupiter 8sc) So far, as proof of concept, I've been using the KPA / Camplifier into a vaporiser 2x10" cab that I've wired for stereo and it sounds very good (even with the stock speakers).
On my rough 3d models, going 2x8 loses about 2"-3" off the cabinet in each dimension and about 5kg in weight - quite a nice saving and I'm wondering what I'd lose out in sound? (some bass I guess? some fullness?)
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated before I get the black and decker workmate out. ta!
