I'm curious what you think about the ability of the classic double baffle cab to handle the output of a Triptop armed with KT88s. I ask, because what never seems to be mentioned is the "soft baffle" of the double baffle. If you examine the speaker baffle, you'll see that there is actually very little wood suspending the speaker from the cab, due to the port arrangement. Modern cabinet design seems to call for a very rigid baffle. The b15n is not that, but works well for the the amount of air the 25 or so watts the amp could deliver. Will the additional wattage from the KT88s overwhelm the "soft baffle"? I am not saying it will or it won't as I don't know. Hence the question.
Good question. The speaker offers some reinforcement but the baffle is quite thick. Might be an idea to add some reinforcing stringers or go with thicker material.
