Re: [Harp-L] Masco MA-17N



David-

I have the Masco ME-18.  I use an Avatar 2x10 cab loaded with a Weber
Sig 10 ceramic (smooth cone) and a Jensen Mod ceramic (ribbed cone).
It sounds fantastic.  I think your plan for the Weber 10A125-O (which
I use in my hot-rodded SF Champ) and the Eminence Legend is good, if a
bit costly.  I've found that low-power, less-expensive, mismatched
drivers sound best in multi-speaker cabs for blues harp.

Also, I strongly suggest you consider the Weber Beam Blocker diffusers
in your 2x10 cab.  I use them and I am a true believer in thier
benefits for harp amps.
