bitofagiggle Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Need to buy 2 or 3 cheapo wedges for one of these pub rigs for the locals bands. Preferably 10" as it's all going to be on small stages. Any suggestions for active cabs under £250 or passive under £200? Can't wait to ring these things out... Not! -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete10uk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 These the box MA120 MKII from Thomann have been good to me. Have been gigged and abused but they keep working. I know people who had the Mk1' and they had issues with blowing the amp but the Mk2's have been awesome, 12" I know but quite compact. I've been involved in conversations on here and I think others rated them also. That said their website says "new model" which adds a standby switch and MF EQ but they are still called Mk2? surely they should be Mk3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.spoons Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I have a couple of Alto Truesonic TS110As, very good for the money (actually pretty good by any measure). The only downside is durability, I don't dry hire mine and do take care of them but I have seen another one with a damaged cabinet (much like the common damage you see on SRM 450s if dropped). They don't need kid gloves, with moderate care they'll be fine, just don't drop them down stairs http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 These 15" ones from Thomann have been rather nice, and on occasions I even play my bass through them. Low profile, good sound and a dual concentric design impressed me.http://www.thomann.de/thumb/bdbmagic/pics/bdb/309207/7360643_800.jpg£213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHoward Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Looks like they do a 10" and 12" version of that wedge as well which could be good and compact (although no doubt not as nice as the 15s) They are not a compact cab but EV ZLX12P are our sub-£250 active monitors.

Alec Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 These 15" ones from Thomann have been rather nice.Interesting - rather a shame they don't do a passive version of this - unless it needs a *lot* of processing to make it sound decent?

dickiefunk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I also use the Alto Truesonic speakers as wedge monitors. I have both the TS110a's and TS112a's and both work great for this application. A cheaper but excellent value option is the Thomann MA120 MKII's. Whilst I prefer the Alto Truesonics the Thomann MA120mkII's are a real bargain at £100 each! At one of the venues I run sound they have three and they have stood up to years of pretty hard usage! I've used the Thomann Pro Mon A12 which appears to be a re-branded Proel WD12a monitor and didn't like it as much as the cheaper MA120 or the Alto Truesonic range.
