The Emotiva SE8 has been replaced by the technically more capable XS8, however the cabinet is slightly more bulky.Sadly, it is discontinued.
Don Ellis, Maynard Furgeson, Doc Sevrenson, Tina Thing Helsing, Clark Terry, Harry James, Herb Alpert, Maurice Andre, Arturo Sandoval, Chuck Mangione, Bill Chase, Wynton Marsalis, many others I can’t come up with off the top of my head. Miles is so often mentioned you’d think he invented the trumpet. I’m not knocking him, but there are so many excellent trumpeters! I personally enjoy big bands and larger ensembles, which are so hard to keep together, and the many trumpeters who fronted them in the past, and the few who continue today.A'ight, I'm spinning Donald Byrd's 'Royal Flush' at work while I wait for my work homies to make their Single Barrel selections and I'm curious:
Who is everyone's most favoritest trumpeter?
Five-year-ago Me would have instantly answered Miles Davis* and then drawn a blank on anyone else, but that was before a friend introduced me properly (via original pressing Blue Note records he spun on a custom VPI 'table with a Soundsmith cart) to the Blue Note Records roster of legends.
Now my foremost answer has to be Lee Morgan. Every note he blows is sublimity itself. He is the lone atom at the tip of the tip of the spear of history's trumpet blowers, in my mind.
Secondary and tertiary choices, if I was forced to, might be Byrd followed by Hubbard. Maybe.
Anyway, I'm all ears!
*I still adore Miles Davis but for me he exists on another plain from everyone else and not solely because of his blowing skills on a trumpet. His greatness lies, in my view, on his overall style and the impact he had on jazz (and fusion) itself over many eons. Hell, he pretty much directly created many of those eons himself just through the force of his will! He will always be goat for that, but not necessarily for the way he worked a trumpet. IN MY OPINION, of course.
I picked this up yesterday. Musical references to Rush and Gentle Giant? It made my lil’ prog loving heart flutter!
It doesn't appear that you can pass through to an amp

Speaking of rum (in album titles)....... then there is Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash by the Pogues ....[from a Sir Winston Churchill quote concerning the Royal Navy]
Must be a replacement 8" subwoofer in their line.Sadly, it is discontinued.
Available 'factory renewed' for $280.
Looks like it would be the bottle art for a thicc rum barrel-aged barleywine. And I'd totally buy it based on the art.Speaking of rum (in album titles)...
Must confess I've never heard the album, but some of my favorite cover art ever.
(Does that make me shallow?)
We are still pondering a Bolt - Hertz are selling warrantied with 5-15K miles for circa $20K. That seems like a good eal to me and when Carvana were offering $5K that would have been a no brainer. Then they sent a series of emails at progressively lower offers, the last one $500.
