Well, we're all pots and kettles here, and people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones (or undress with the lights on....), but.... I do find the idea of a full-size stack in a living room a bit hard to get my head round.

Still, if it makes you happy!  :D

Correction: Fit ladies who live in glass houses absolutely SHOULD undress with the lights on.

Neither of those displays are affected by magnetic pull like a CRT! :)

That stack looks GREAT!

I use a 1/2 stack at a MINIMUM when I gig, a full stack if I can get the transportation.

At home -- that rig will break windows. I've played the VH4 countless times and it does need to be cranked to sound its best.

However, to each his own! Enjoy!

yeah man, i know about the crt's.
im sure there is a youtube vid of someone who hacked a CRT to have speaker inputs controlling the electron guns.
made crazy patterns when he played music into it.

gonna rig up a modded pair of CRT's to your stack? would look cool! maybe. or just make you dead.

If I remember rightly you don't gig?  And have no plans to?  I'm going to have to be brutal, and coming from me this may be seen as the pot calling the kettle black, but....

What a complete and utter waste of money

:)

Ok, here is the rationale...

I have 2 heads, I'm intending to keep both of them. Therefore I need 2 cabs if both myself and Sue want to play together.

The Diezel cabs are 8Ohm where the Orange cab is 16 Ohm which means I don't have the full stack option even though I have 2 cabs.

One cab will be going, I'm not keeping all 3, but until I've A/B/C'd them all I don't know which, but the Orange is the most likely for the afore mentioned full stack option.

Sale of other gear plus the Orange will cover most of the cost of the 2nd Diezel cab, so for not much extra cost I have a flexible rig of 2 half stacks or a full stack, with complementary drivers in each cab. Or I can return 1 Diezel for just the cost of shipping it back.

I know that still won't make sense to everyone, but there is some logic there (somewhere).

And you need this 'flexible rig of 2 half stacks or a full stack' for your living room, right?  Two smaller combos wouldn't be more useful and toneful at the volumes we're talking about?

I mean, I rehearse in a twin guitar rock covers band using a 30w combo and a couple of pedals!  My home amp is a power-scaled 20w Fender Deluxe.

I just have no comprehension of why you'd want to have two half stacks at home to play though  :?
