What he's saying in a nutshell is that room acoustics play a big role here and most players never take that into account.
As for speaker size, it depends on the amp it's with, the way the speakers are made, and of course, acoustics. The only speaker size in a big room I'd be wary of are 8's because they sometimes, in a large sized amp, like the very first Sonny Jr., may not cut thri the mix very well. ---------- Sincerely, Barbeque Bob Maglinte Boston, MA http://www.barbequebob.com CD available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bbmaglinte
Greg and Bob are right. The amps are different in those two videos as well. The amp does make a difference.
In the second video, the MA-17 was plugged into the pair of 8's in the my Harpgear Double Trouble. That combo didn't cut well enough to be heard at a jam. When the Double Trouble was plugged into the 2x8 configuration, it cuts way better than the Masco.
In that second video, the room has a super high ceiling. There is a natural echo in that room.
