Please don't turn this into a general discussion about attenuators as there are a ton of threads on that already.
My question is this: if the point of using an attenuator is to reduce volume, and most believe that using the least amount of attenuation possible is best, does it make any sense to use anything more than a one speaker cab?
It seems it is counter productive to use a multi -speaker cab AND attenuate at the same time. Yes, I understand that moving more air may give a bigger bottom etc etc, but if you are attenuating your amp and not hitting the speakers as hard, do the extra speakers really matter?
I am wondering if an over-sized 1x12 is the way to go with an attenuator. You get the "big" sound of the larger enclosure without both attenuating and moving more air.
Any thoughts,
TG
