What a great decision buying the 2x12. I learned about you from a friend, Billy Dedman, Brave Rival? Anyway, perfect for me! 

Played the IoW blues festival, that can with the Mesa D800, brutal

Thanks again

Super excited - the cabinet arrived today.  I installed the speaker using the felt that was around the cutout in the cabinet as the gasket between the frame and wood.  Is that sufficient, or do you recommend a commercial speaker gasket like what typically comes on the front of speakers used in rear mounting?  For now, I put the speaker in using what was already on the cabinet, plugged it in, and it sounds awesome - exactly what I was hoping to hear come out of the speaker cabinet.

Thank you!

Hi Cutler,

Glad you're loving the sound! Yes, the felt is the gasket. The front gasket on speakers is taller because the speaker cone is mounted to the front of the frame so it needs a taller gasket to stop the cone hitting the baffle. A rear gasket simply sealed the back on the frame so they're usually thin foam. We switched to that custom made felt tape a few years ago because makes it miles easier to swap drivers because it doesn't stick. We use the same felt on the grill frames too, again to stop things sticking.

Best regards,

Alex

I've managed to get the cabs yesterday, I've unpacked them this morning .

They are safe , and the sound is another level on the feel, the pleasure in playing my first notes.

I will take the time and Learn how to play with the switches, tweeter level and the passive… to adjust the frequencies.

But at home, with more than a bed room level, neighboors are not there, that sounds great to my ears as first impressions.

Hi guys,

I just wanted to let you know I finally had a gig where these cabs were put to use. I brought them but didn't hook them up the previous gig. But this time, I brought ALL my speakers and plugged these in first to see what they could do. I kept turning them up and as I walked around it seemed like they were plenty, and my PA speakers were unnecessary. See them sitting in the back there? So I'm really excited that this will be an actual viable option that I can confidently bring just these two speakers and save an enormous amount of work and headache on hauling and wiring.

I didn't even connect that monitor wedge you see sitting there either. I was wearing my in-ears, though. Anyway, despite the rough start with that plug inlet, I'm thrilled with these, and excited to use them again!

Thanks,

Ben

I've paid my duties,

the credit card's fine.

I've done my customs

and committed no crime.

And good mistakes

I've made a few,

buying that Reformer 112 from Barefaced

was the best I could do!

I dropped one of my One10T cabinets and it shorts my amp when connected. What are my options?

Can I have the driver repaired at a speaker shop? How can I get it to factory standard? 

The 4 One10T's are killer though!

Hi Jeffrey,

Sorry to hear about this! Hard to say what it could be, could be the crossover module, could be the driver, could be the tweeter, could be loose wiring in between. If you're comfortable swapping parts with another of your One10T cabs then you can figure out if the fault moves and that'll show what's broken. And then we can sell you a replacement part or explain how to fix it.

Glad they're sounding good!

Best regards,

Alex

After spending three months with my BT3 I can say it is the better than my wildest expectations. I have literally used a sine wave and tested it down to 20hz with a 2500w amp side to side with other speakers.

Wow.

Every day it makes me happy and I have zero regrets. 

Amazing work, I am a customer for life!

I will buy the 21 sub if you make it!

Completely unnecessary for my needs but I want it for your engineering alone.

Hi Alex and Team,

Well, my 30 day test drive is about up, but you're definitely not having my 15:24 back!

It wasn't on your list of possible combinations, if I recall, but I use it with a Big Baby 3 on top, a Demeter amp (best thing I've ever found to amplify a Wal 6 string) and it sounds awesome. And my wife (/ roadie) can lift them both with one hand!

My hearing is a bit compromised nowadays (Menieres) so hearing myself at gigs is number one priority, but with these cabs it just works for me. (I never use the "house backline", but had occasion to play at Exchange in Bristol recently - when they said they has a Big Twin, I knew I didn't have to take my own for once! That confidence is worth its weight in gold...or cabs!).

So, thank you for telling the truth and living up to the promises you make for your products. You've probably extended my playing career by several years (I'm 67) because I have cabs I can physically manage without any compromises in quality of sound.

All the best,

Tony

16/10/26 - Reality 112FR SA (stereo active) - USA

How I am getting along with it: liking the Reality 112FR cabinet.  Not sure if I prefer it on the floor or on a stand.  It has only been in my home studio so far.  When placed on the floor, some Fractal amp models sound a bit boomy.  

A couple more questions: Is there a ...

1).  best/optimal distance to place the 1x12 Reality from a surface/the wall behind it?

2).  reason not to use another powered 1x12, with rear-pointed tweeter, when going for a stereo setup?

Thanks,

Thaddeus

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Thaddaeus,

1. Not really, just put it wherever works and if it sounds weird try moving it - trust your ears!

2. I'm a bit confused by what you're asking! I don't know how you'll get stereo without a second speaker and if you want it to sound best then a matching Reality is the way to go.

Best regards,

Alex

I came across a thread on The Gear Page about how great EC Collins grill cloth is. Have you experimented with various grill cloths?

P.S. Still loving my Reformers

Joan

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Joan,

We've used quite a lot of different grill cloth over the years - we've never used the EC Collins stuff but I can see how it's different to most. Whether that is better or not will depend on what you want - from a hi-fi perspective it's certainly far removed from ideal but I can see how it could help some speakers sound less harsh. Glad you're loving the cabs!

Best regards,

Alex

13/10/26 - Three10 - USA

I have your Three10 cabinet and LOVE it! But, I am very intrigued by your 30:24 because there is a local player that has a GK 12” and 15” stacked and it really fills the room. I use a Genzler Magelin 800 head for what it is worth and am not compelled to move on to GK. That said, I am writing for your recommendation / POV.

I am in sales so I understand I might be asking you a tough question. But, would a 2x12 Barefaced be a sonic improvement over my Three10? I could really hear how the 1x15 and the 1x12 in your YouTube link made a “fattening” tonal difference and that was just through ear buds! I am not dying to be lugging multiple cabinets FYI and the Three10 with wheels is a dream to load in and out.

Thank you, and keep up the great engineering!

Hi Ed,

There's no doubt the 30:24 is even louder and fatter than the Three10, it's light too, just quite large.

Best regards,

There certainly is some magic to this thing, I could hear it in the first 5 minutes. As most guitar players like to do, or if I swapped out the speaker for something a little bit more guitar Centric as opposed to FRFR use. Perhaps a celestion Neo creamback?

Neil

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Neil,

The Reality is designed as a dedicated FRFR guitar cab. If you want to just have one guitar speaker sound, so turning off the IRs, then you could disconnect the crossover and rear tweeter and replace the 12" coax driver with a 12" guitar speaker. At that point you've turned it from a Reality to a Reformer though, so I don't think it makes an awful lot of sense! Glad you're liking it though.

Best regards,

Alex
