Marshall explained that the idea for the stack came about as a result of a volume war being raged within the Who. “Pete Townshend wanted a cabinet containing eight 12in speakers. I told him it would be impossible to lift – and I was right. So we tried cutting the cabinet in half and putting one on top of the other.”
