In 1978 I had an Acoustic 470 head with the 407 cab which had 2x15 speakers and a front-loaded horn. I wanted the loudest amp in the store and the owner showed me that. I tried it and holy crap! You couldn't stand in front of it on 4! It was brutal. Has anybody ever played through one of these? I was in a band at the time, and it blew away the other guitar players Marshall 50. The Marshall sounded better though, ALOT better. But for pure power, the 470 was hard to beat. It did well against the Marshall 100w too, but not by much. I think the horn helped the highs cut through for leads.
