Speaker trials - (warning: lengthy, rambling)

[David Root]

I ordered a Fane Studio 12L from tonic amps, the only distributor in North America. I would have thought the Fane name would have attracted more distributor interest here.

They are offering a special for TAG members, 25% discount off the (hefty) $289 list, which is $216.75 net, plus only $35 shipping to Canada, which is $4 less than Avatar! They are out of stock for a week or so unfortunately so I won't get it before Xmas.

If you're interested e-mail Darin Ellingson at orders@tonic amps.com.

I hope it fits my Boogafunk TL806. Anyone know that?

Great speaker and Darin is great to work with.

The fane will require a bigger hole in the baffle board than most speakers.

The speaker works really well with these D-style amps, here's some examples with one of mine:

Sounds great Jelle! That '59 Esquire is something else!

And no EV12L "fizzies" that I could hear.

I have the Studio 12L in a no name ported back 1X12 cab, no break in and with the El34 90s HRM it's a really great speaker. I can only imagine how good this speaker will sound when it loosens up a bit.

I'm liked the Delta Pros but the Fane is so musical as an instrument speaker. I need a good cab but I am plenty happy with it for now.

Thanks! The amp is also voiced to have less fizzies, it's not just the speaker.

The speaker sounds like a cross between a EVM and a greenback. Very cool, I like them a lot.

Order them in the US via Tonic amps.
