Is this Xitone cab a steal?

A Buddy of mine recently experienced a problem with his. He borrowed one from his friend who had two for stereo and he sent his back for warranty repair.
The one he borrowed started smoking and quit. He called his friend to report it. His friend said the other one smoked and died at his rehearsal. SOB!

These were new models that blew up. I would ask the seller if their was ever any problems. They do sound good.
Price is low.

With the extra head room from being over powered I bet it will sing. As long as you don't get drunk with power and murder the speakers.

Quote from Sunshine

Seller says everything is A-OK. Its based off of the X7 model and he has had it for 4-5 years. The power amp he had installed is more beefy than what the cab originally was specd with.

I'm tempted to pick it up and try it out for $200...

Object now if I should pass, or forever hold your peace.

I would just say, buyer beware. I have never heard of this particular model XiTone. And I certainly have never heard of "Audio Nirvana" speakers.

I own and love my XiTone 1x12 Passive wedge. Built like a tank, and with quality components (Eminence Beta-12CX Coaxial speaker, Eminence PXB2-2K5CX crossover board, etc.). You might want to give Mick Farlowe at XiTone a call (or email), to ask him about this specific model that the seller is listing.

Also, note that the drivers are 10". If this indeed it is a XiTone, perhaps it was a prototype that never went into standard / full "production".

Cheers,
John

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

It may be some knockoff he's advertising as a XiTone, especially if there is no other similar pair in existence.

I would stay clear of it.

EDIT: Look at the number of inputs on that thing! I'd be tempted to buy just to see if it was any good, but YMMV
