Wow, that yorkville looks like a beautiful amp, its just the money factor...sigh.

I guess I'm not clear about a couple things you mentioned. First, you say that a powered cabinet doesn't offer much control. Do you mean control in terms of eq etc? If thats the case I was planning to run through a small mixer before the cab.

Secondly I'm curious what you mean about running through a pedal for control so that I'll have the headroom when I need it. What kind of pedal and control are you refering to?

I agree about the 15"s...from my experience checking out amps recently, I think it does the bass a lot of justice that I don't hear through smaller speakers.

Thanks for your feedback!
