The 15" cab finally arrived. I installed a Telonics TSNEO 15-4. The Mini has a Jupiter 12". Either one alone is great, together they are massive.
The Mini seems to handle the pair, for a 2 ohm load, with no problem.

| Mike..I use a near identical setup with the exception of a Telonics speaker installed in the 'Mini'..I always assumed that with the addition of a 4 0hm extension cabinet, the jacks were wired as such that the two combined created an 8 0hm load? |

They're in parallel, but there's an optional switch that puts them serial.
Think about it: if they're in series, there's no complete circuit with only one speaker.
Mine is ordered with the optional series switch, so my two fours add up to 8.

on Milkman tube amps, they are in parallel (unless its a custom job with different taps). On the half and half (which can not take the 2ohm load) I add the switch to change to series which presents an 8ohm load to the module.
Good looking stack! I love my mini stack with my Creamer and pair of D120s - perfect for pedal steel and tele!

I finally got to play a gig using my mini-stack with steel at a friend's cd release party last night. 12" combo with 15" extension cabinet. (I'd had the combo out with six string already & was very happy with it.) It sounded so good and all of the controls are so responsive. Since it was for an old buddy I broke my 'no doubling' rule and used it for electric 6 string and even mandolin (original plan was to DI the mando but the stage monitors were not great and the Milkman did a servicable job as an acoustic amp, which allowed me to hear myself).
We had the amps mic'd raising a question - is it better to mic the 12" or the 15"? We wound up putting the mic on the 12" because of the six string and people said it sounded good but I'd be interested in the views of others, since it isn't easy to play your steel and hear what is coming through the PA at the same time.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention how much easier it is to haul around than my old twin!
This is the stack at home:

I would always mic a 12" over a 15" since you will get some proximity effect bass boost when close mic'ing. Even a 12" speaker typically requires some bass roll off.
Great looking rig btw. Miss my Milkman! Should have kept it before the prices went up Up UP!!!

I also enjoy my Milkman Half & Half Stack. I seldom need both speaker cabs, but it's good to know Tim i would guess custom wired this amp to accept two 4 ohm speakers. I recived this amp as a gift, just before it was about to be sold to a bass player who sadly would have taken the great reverb and other parts of this amp out, and gutted it to be used as a bass amp. So glad i saved it intact.It's loaded with two 4ohm Weber D130 Neo clones in two Rick Johnson cabs. This is "The Standard" that all amps should be judged by IMHO. Tone to the bone, ear damaging clean undistorted volume when needed through a tube preamp. (Just my opinion folks). But i've played through dozens of other amps.Be Blessed
