I got a prompt answer from Ear Candy. They quickly updated the web site and added the Eminence Beta 8A to the drop down menu.

Danielle, one thing to keep in mind is that it takes a lot of power to drive the Beta 8 and since it's an 8 ohms speaker, the amp is running game on it's bottom power output. How you play and the output level of your guitar/pickup will be a factor, but for me the volume available from this rig is limited. I love the sound I get from it but if I need to get even a bit loud, I use my 1x10 Ethan with a lower wattage speaker. (On the other hand, I play with an absurdly light touch, so you may get much louder with the same rig)

I use the 4 ohm version of the Eden cab (12") with this amp (EX112-4-U), it might be on sale at Musician's Friend (15% off). It gets very loud.

I was using the 4 ohm version of the 1x10 Eden for about a year. It also got very loud with this amp and I liked it but I think the Earcandy cabs with the right speaker sound more natural and at least for what I do, I think I get enough volume from my 1x10 cab to handle whatever I'm going to need.

Jim
I just got an earcandy 1x10 celestion bass cabinet. The goal is to be able to fool around with a P-bass. My jazz guitars are all Teles. It seems you like the Quilter better than the MB200 with your plank (Tele).
I was going to get the GK, but i think the Quilter will get more use and be more versatile if i can use it with the bass.

So, instead of using a bass amp for guitar, should i get the Quilter to use with bass? I have a dedicated bass speaker.

Taxman,
I believe Jim moved his Quilter 101 on (sold it) and is still using the MB200 (see his current post re the Godin archtop---very nice video too). Others may be able to answer your query, though.
