I'm sending the speaker out of one of my nash 112s to mike to have it checked out, and i was thinking about using a 1203-4 until i get it back.I didn"t know if that would work ok or not. any comments?

It will work just fine. In fact, you may like it so well you may want to leave it in the amp.

Thanks bob,i didn't know if that little 80 watt amp could handle the 300watts of the 1203s whithout smoking something, (electical)roger

Roger, it will work fine. Quite a few of the stock speakers have been changed to the BW. fyi.

I tried a 1203-4 in my 112 and could tell very little difference in the sound. Not nearly enough to offset the extra weight, so I put the Blue Marvel back in.

I agree mostly agree with Darvin. It adds unwanted weight, but I also hear sweeter highs and smooth mids that the stock speaker does not have. Every time I A/B the two, I choose the amp with the BW over the stock amp. Both are good, but I alway's seem to be looking for good plus differn't for a signature sound.

If by swaping out the speakers (whitch i had to any way to send it in to mike)and just has sweeter hi's, i may have to swap out the other one too. I don't mind carrying around another few pounds of sweetner to a gig if it makes me smile at the end of the night,besides, we have a trailor full of heavy eqip we have unload and load any way ,whats another few pounds groina hurt.

what speakers came in the nash 112-e cabnets, was that the 1203-4?

Yes, the 1203-4's were used in those cabinets. I have a pair of 1203-8's that I've using in my rack stereo system.

I have a Nashville 112 and wouldn't really consider putting a BW in it. I bought it for the sound, but also for the size and weight.
