Do these still exist? I saw an old Elk 2x12 cab a couple of years ago with what the salesman described as "long-throw" speakers. I'm no amp expert, so I'll take his word for it. It makes sense though, in the days before PA, to have some speakers that could project a greater distance...
Reason I ask is the following. I have my 4x12 cab through which I run my Peavey VK112 if we're using our personal PA (I don't mic up my amp if I can avoid it), which we only use for vocals and DI the bass through it. We gigged with this setup a couple of weeks ago. The guys up to about mid-way in the venue said the sound was great, but the guys at the back of the venue couldn't really hear the guitar.
So I'm wondering about replacing 2 of the 4 speakers in my cab with long-throws and keeping 2 medium-fields for the closer audience. Make sense? Comments?
