To add to a pointless thread: A friend knew Gene Cerwinski and had a pair of home speakers with a 15 and a tweeter…late 60s. Interesting if somewhat overkill speakers for his small cabin.That Acoustic 360 beast of a bass amp became the ubiquitous go-to amp for many bass players, and was notable in that you often could’t hear it on a loud stage until you were 30 feet away. My band in the 70s opened for Loggins and Messina and they were a "state of the art" act utilizing Clair Brothers multi driver PA cabs (18s, mids, horns, tweeters…all JBL or something) with stacks of Phase Linear amps. On stage Messina used 2 pre CBS Fender Twin Reverb amps as preamps (really…2 of them in a sort of double Dual Showman Reverb cabinet) running into Phase Linear amps powering 4 Cerwin Vega 2X12 rear loaded (for efficiency or something) cabs…loud as HELL. Those were the days, and concert sound levels were insane for a while. I currently use a couple of relatively low powered guitar amps (a 15 watt push pull or an 18 watt single ended), and my hifi rig is now efficient speakers with a single ended 12 watt per side amp…things have changed.
