Re: yes, another floating baffle question Fred, actually Ted's P12Q is one speaker that does work well with a floating baffle but the speaker could use a little help in the low bottom.   It's just not a huge bottomy sounding speaker.   Ted Weber gave me one about a year ago and at first I completely HATED it. Yuk!   It was not what I was looking for "at all" and I gave it to a buddy of mine after the first week of trying it out.   He had no speakers to play through since his were blown and he needed... something... anything.   Well, after about a month or so my friend called for me to come and get it 'cause he had some new speakers.   He had been playing his 50 watt MIG 50 through this poor little P12Q for a couple weeks.   I figured he had trashed it but I didn't really mind because (it was free) and I didn't like it anyhow.   Well, to make a long story short, I had an old tweed something or other come in and I plunked the WeberVST P12Q in it for fun because there was some trashy buzzy unknown AlNiCo in it...   Wow!   This speaker wasn't the same at all! It sounded very good!   I've tried it in a number of different amps and cabinets since it was broken in, and, did I say it sounds really good now?     FWIW: I though the best sound was in a cabinet about the size of a black face Deluxe and it had a 3/8 fir plywood floating baffle too.   The only P12Q type speaker I've heard that sounded as good or better was a real superb condition 1960 Jensen P12Q.     Bruce
