carlsbro gamma 15/600watt active sub

[chrispeacock]

i have been offered 2 of these still brand new for a very good price, i was looking at getting a single alto tssub15 but for just a bit more i can get 2 of these.

does anybody know if these are any good. only thing putting me off is the weight difference

Has nobody heard these or are the absolutely rubbish

Used a pair a couple of years ago at a marquee wedding and they sounded ok as far as I can remember!

Studio Spares do a very similar bass bin and may be cheaper http://www.studiospares.com/pa-speak...e/invt/248270/

PM flatliners (shaun) i'm sure he will tell you how good his isn't.

I've used these and they are IMO not bad.
The bass is 'not in your face' but more toned down the down sideis the weight - bit bulky and awkward.

I had the Carlsbro powered gammas a while ago and I assume they haven't changed much. I'd avoid them because:

the cabs are heavy and very difficult to handle
the bass is floppy rather than punchy
the 126db claimed is perhaps a little generous.
they are not very stable with a pole and top speaker

Never had that problem with my Mackies on the top.

Not a lover of Carslbro stuff. Unreliable in my opinion. Not used this bass though. I would not personally entertain anything Carlsbro ever again.

As these havent been made for over 3 years i hope they are very cheap!
seriously have come across a fewof the actives with fire damaged amps!
in the 60s and 70s Carlsbro were ok....not any more
Cheers
