Advantages of 1x8" Speaker Configuration in Small Bass Amps

[elainafern]

Hi everyone,

I've been exploring small bass amps and noticed that some use a 1x8" speaker configuration. I'm curious about the advantages of this setup compared to other speaker configurations. How does a single 8-inch speaker affect tone, portability, and overall performance for practice or small gigs? Are there specific situations where a 1x8" configuration works particularly well?

I'd love to hear your insights, experiences, or recommendations.

Thanks in advance!
