       | "The Leonardo 8 is incredible! And it has already become part of my sound, it's so focused and clear...and it sounds fantastic on the acoustic guitar as well." "I've been on a quest for the perfect guitar sound for 25 years. When I
first saw the Leonardo 10, I knew I had to hear it. After playing close to
a dozen amps through the Leo 10, it is of my opinion that this small and
unassuming Leo 10 gave me the best tone and sound I have been searching for.
In a stereo setup with an open back 10, I have found the perfect recording
setup. Kudos to Leonardo and crew for a wonderful musical instrument!" "The Leonardo 8 is a perfect match for my Acoustic Image amp. I would never
have believed so much sound could come from an 8" speaker. Thanks for making
such a quality product." "My Leonardo 10 cabinet is a fine piece of equipment that looks as good as it sounds....and it sounds great. I'm proud to add it to my arsenal of tone." "My Leonardo 10 is just amazing. It's sounds great, it looks great and it is very versatile…perfect for both 6 and 7 string players." "Great size,weight and durability. Full sound, great dispersion and spread of all frequencies." "Fabulous. A few observations. One was that the sound seems to be much less directional than my "other" 12. I like that a lot, the guys could hear me just fine. The horn player even commented that he had no problem hearing me, and it wasn't because I was playing loudly. He is almost deaf in one ear with tinnitus from a virus he caught some years ago. I just think the combination of holographic sound and loads more projection helped him hear me better. We play all jazz standards and we shun electronics as far as miking our instruments or using monitors. We like an acoustic environment that allows for dynamics from very soft to a few peaks here and there. So having the sound seemingly spread around more is great. The "other" cabs drove me crazy in that regard whenever I took them out. There was one little sweet spot and that was it. Along with that same thought, I have to elevate my other cabinets to get the sound to spread out more. Not so with the Leonardo. It sounded great just sitting on the wood floor and I could really hear myself no matter where I moved to. There is a bit of a "holographic" effect going on with the sound. Also I noticed lodes more projection with the Leonardo out front. The sound just expands out into the room. This cabinet really throws the sound out there in a very pleasing way! There was more presence and life and depth in the midrange, another big plus for me. Guitar lives in the midrange, so why accent highs and lows? The sound is also clearer, cleaner and much more relaxed without the accentuated highs and bottom end that the "other" cabs have. The tone is just way better to my ears. There was always a "fuzz" in my sound that I could never get rid of with the other cabs. I read the review in Just Jazz Guitar. I have ended up not thinking that the "other" and Leonardo cabs are very close at all in terms of sound. I think they are very different. Not two sides of the same coin, but entirely different currency altogether. The reviewer made it seem like they were somewhat the same flavor. I disagree. It's hard not to make some comparisons. I do know that this is the first cabinet I have paired up to my AI Clarus II that sounds really good to my ears. The other stuff has just sounded OK to mediocre. Ears are funny things, but myself and two people I trust hear everything I mentioned. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
" "Awesome response, great presence, incredible clarity. In other words, they're the bomb, have not stopped playing since they arrived. The combination of the 8" (Nenny) and the 10" cabs is huge. The 8" alone is very crisp great sound, while the 10" alone has more warm, even tone, not too boomy. I really have to give John Buscarino kudo's for turning me on to you. He definitely makes a killer guitar and your cabs bring all that great tone to life." "From the moment I took my LEONARDO 12 out of the shipping box I was impressed by the light weight , cool look and great workmanship. I was blown away though when I heard the sound... Big, fat , tight and still totally transparent. I use my Leonardo 12 with a Clarus 1 amp and a Guild Archtop and this cab gives me the best sound I have ever had!
Furthermore you can get an unbelievable Cabinet at a price any working musician can afford. I can't wait to sample some of their other cabs..." "I have used my Leonardo 8 on well over a dozen gigs and I love it. It's small, light, and sounds terrific." "Leonardo cabinets are the perfect cabinet for jazz archtop and nylon string guitar." | |
