QUICK, SOMEBODY ANSWER!
I mean right now!
C'mon, somebody posted another question, drop everything you're doing, put down that blunt and answer before he gets mad, you derelicts!!!!
ya gotta admit tho, despite the storied history of Sunn, everyone knows its means youre a stoner if you play Sunn now.The derelict part wasnt cool tho.
As an obvious Sunn aficionado, it would be naïve to think that Sunn gear isn’t very popular with the stoner/doom genre, but the rich heritage of Sunn in rock music culture causes myself (and others apparently) to take umbrage with your suggestion that the gear is in the soul dominion of feckless, inarticulate denizens of the droning, drug induced domain of pseudo “musicians”.
Or in other words;
Yes, there are a lot of stoner bands who use Sunn equipment, but that's not fair to call all Sunn users stoners. Maybe the other way around (stoners being Sunn users).
Enough of that, I didn’t think the Magna speakers were AlNiCo, and I thought SPL’s were a designation for cabinets/cast frame drivers combinations from the early 80’s.
I don’t think you have to worry about whether it was designed for bass, it should hold up just fine for bass or guitar, the question is whether you like the sound or not. It should be more bottom heavy than a 4X12 or other tight guitar specific cabinet, but there is no way for anybody but yourself to know if you think it sounds good.
