Hey, so I noticed a couple of weeks ago that I liked the sound of my Gibson Scout cabinet when the chassis was out. With the chassis back there was a little bit of a 3D quality that is missing. I had read the London Power pitch on detuned speaker cabinets and figure my observation must be related. Not having the tools or patience for serious woodworking, I was doing a little Googling to see if anyone is offering any detuned cabs comercially. Or even just a somewhat oversized closed back 2x12 that I can leave out a speaker. But my Googling did turn up this company, Forte, with a variation on the basic idea:

Has anyone here ever seen/heard one of these in person? Thoughts?

Interesting concept!
Have you seen the "X Fire" design by Bill Fitzmaurice?

No I hadn't seen those. My interest lately is in detuned designs, though.

I have heard the Forte at last year's Portland Oregon Dumble amp fest, with I believe a Celestion G12-65 and an EV. It was bleep'n awesome. The owner has posted about it several times on the Ampgarage Dumble forum, including a photo with the back off. Just search Ampgarage for "Forte" and you will find it.
