Reading the comments above, I agree with:
- "loaded speaker cabinet" is the right terminology, go with it
- focus on the black/basics and avoid the cosmetics
- think through the "platform" for a head (and any cool cable routing)
- ensure you can compare the resulting sound to a traditional cabinet -- I'd sure like to think that this will sound like something traditional when it's all done

And I would disagree that an 8 is great for jazz. An 8 might be good for quiet jazz but with a loud drummer, organist and saxophonist you'll ultimately need 2 8" cabs or a single 12". Possibly a 10" could get you through in a pinch.

This you can compensate, if you want, with just a tad of reverb. Overall, it cuts through on less volume than regular boxes. As well, it does not muddy up your bass end, which is often the case with a neck humbucker/12" speaker combination. I used to get glances from my bassist whenever I did Freddie Greene style comping below Bb on the 6th string. I was in his airspace. Not anymore, as the lows are sharp and percussive.

Wow, looks and sounds interesting!
As a fellow Finnish I welcome this new innovation with joy and hope it will be our Next Nokia!

But I did not see a Jensen Tornado mentioned among the neo speakers. I have one in my 5e3 clone and it does not sound bad at all. With ES175 w/ humbucker nor a Les Paul w/ P90s. It has not broke in yet so I can't give the final verdict yet.

Hooray for new ideas !!!
Best of luck with your new endeavor.
Smallest speaker enclosure possible = brilliant.
8", 10" & 12" could all get the treatment IMO.
The tilt-back & flat-spot of amp head are great touches too.

I assume you've tried different depths for the TOOB. I know your preference is for lighter weight, but was there any benefits from extra depth?
What would a metre-long cabinet sounds like?Last edited by BigDaddyLoveHandles; 01-12-2017 at 07:35 PM.

I've been looking for a cab for my 12" SRO Electrovoice 'coffee can speaker. Would this be appropriate?

I swapped one into one of my RE 12-ERs with nice results. But the empty cab itself is still heavy, so I don't now how much benefit I really gained from the neo. Didn't measure before/after.

Good luck to the project!

As well, we have been talks with a major company about selling through them exclusively. Those talks may well resume now that the product is 99% ready and getting response on the Web. We will know after NAMM - everybody is busy with the show right now.

It's actually a bass speaker but has a pretty wide range and it's rated at something like 350 watts. My MB200 puts out all 200 watts into the 4 ohm speaker. and it's very light weight.
