LOL..you're in Noise Complaint Zone with that
Okay, great, thanks for the feedback! I will be providing the rig as backline for 5 or 6 bands through the day so I want to make sure that everyone is happy.
I will try to give a follow-up report post-gig!
That would beat any backline I've ever had on any gig, let alone a backyard pool party jam. I think everyone should be quite pleased.
Here's a follow-up to the wonderful advice everyone gave:
Man, does this rig slam! I had the master dialed around 5/10 and the Orange and Traynor just begged to be played more. The Classic Rock band and funk band that followed us were so happy to be using this rig. It was a real treat for all of us.
I don't anticipate dragging the 8X10 out of the basement for every gig in the future, but for the odd outdoor venue it is certainly worth it.

The TC810 is better designed and not made in China like the Ampeg Classic stuff. Made in Canada with Birch Plywood and even has handles on the bottom where you really need them when lifting into the hatchback!There are a few threads, but they are older.
The stats on this Canuckian beast are pretty stout. Any thoughts from those who have used them?
The obvious comparison would be the Ampeg. I gather the Traynor gets "lower and louder". It appears to have nice rails on back. Most of the reviews are pretty positive, but there really isn't a ton of info out there from end users.
If it's a fridge from Canada I'm assuming it gets colder...
What say you?

zombie thread...
I've now got a tc810 after years of using an ampeg 810e classic. the ampeg was a made in vietnam plywood model with (afaik) eminence speakers. the traynor is also sealed plywood with eminence, and although i never had them side by side, the traynor sounds very similar if not identical.
i consider the tc810 an upgrade, as it has a metal grill instead of the floppy nylon mesh of the ampeg, and the traynor also has additional handles for lifting. i think the traynor might be a touch heavier, but i can still get it up and down stairs by myself and into the back of my little suv without much trouble. easier to load and move than a 410.
as far as country of origin goes, i do suffer from some snobbery. i like gear made by the company that puts it's name on it, like my yamaha made in japan, my pbass made in usa by fender, and all my in-house built traynor and aguilar stuff. on a secondary note, i enjoy the idea of first world manufacturing and labour standards that protect the people building the products i buy.
