Thanks. It looks better in person.

It sounds great. I have some excellent cleans and early breakup when I want some. I'm still playing with settings. But I am extremely happy with it!!!

The DRRI platform acquits itself quite well with a number of different speaker combinations. I've often wondered how it would do as a 4 x 10 combo.

2 x 12 is awesome. 4 x10 or 4 x 12 could be too.

There's literally no limit to what can be done with a DRRI chassis.
