Just my observations here:

The Weber P10Q's are an "upgrade" from the standard P10R's. A lot of guitar
players like these. Gary has chosen the smooth cone for it's early break-up
alongside the ribbed version, whose stiffer cone gives it more headroom and
therefore, later break-up characteristics. The Eminence speakers have larger
magnets and can handle more power. They are more efficient and produce more
bass. The "Tidal wave of Sound" Gary describes seems to be from this
combination of speakers.

Comments, anyone? Does this make sense?
