"HiFi" means a spec of at least, say, 40-20kHz +/- 3dB. Check the specs for any guitar speaker, most will have nothing beneath 70Hz or so (which itself is very hopeful) and they top out at about 5-7kHz. Stand off to the side by a small amount and the high frequencies - what there is of them - will begin to disappear. Either way, a guitar speaker will have a very narrow dispersion pattern which means what high frequencies it can produce will be beamed in a narrow pattern directly in front of the speaker and fall off rapidly to either side of the driver. The larger the speaker, the less quality in the high frequencies. The smaller the speaker, the higher the low frequency cut off.
SONANCE SONAMP 260 DRIVER
The open back nature of most guitar cabinets makes this even more of a problem as it allows the rear wave of the driver to cancel low frequencies occurring at the front of the driver. Guitar speakers are of limited frequency response since a guitar is of limited frequency response.
SONANCE SONAMP 260 INSTALL
This means also doing some minor surgey on the cabinet to install the input jacks for each speaker.
SONANCE SONAMP 260 DRIVERS
Unless you physically separate the drivers several feet from each other, you will always have mono sound. It is wired in mono which means you would have to internally separate the two drivers from each other. Your cabinet is meant for use as an instrument speaker system. That makes a specific recommendation all but impossible.

If you want to buy used gear, there are simply too many components (40-50 years worth from dozens of companies) out there and you will have access to only a few of them at any one time. IMO you would be better off simply buying a receiver or integrated amplifier with a self contained phono pre amp. Its quality is not terrific for actually listening to music. The Sonance amp was designed for use as a whole house amplification system - background music. I know these might be loaded questions, so I appreciate any response I can get with regard to anything here. When it comes to the speaker cabinet, what are my connection and cable options as far as utilizing the two speakers in the cab for stereo sound? Typically, with guitar I'd connect one speaker cable to the cab and the sound would come out mono out of both speakers. I assume I would need a Preamp or Receiver to connect to the Sonance first right? Could you guys recommend a suitable preamp or receiver that I would be able to use with the Sonance? I am looking for vintage, cheap, used, after-market but quality. My question is: How can I utilize the Sonance 260 and Speaker Cabinet to connect my Turntable and listen to some records? I got my hands on a Sonance 260X3 Amplifier in my cousins basement the other day.Īdditionally, I have a turntable at home that currently is not attached to any receiver or speakers.Īnd finally, I have a 2X12 speaker cabinet (that I use to connect guitar amps).

I have some questions that may seem very basic. Posted on Thursday, Febru16:00 GMTHello, I am new to this forum and a novice at home audio.
