Mokolotivet Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Hi Im about to buy myself a new amp and new cabs. There isnt alot to test around here, so my information is mainly based on the internet. Im down to 2 different amps: - EBS Reidmar 750 - GK MB 800 fusion Main problem about GK: I cant find a dealer in Norway. So EBS got an edge. About cabs, I want 212 8ohm since I want the possibility to add another cab later. Do you have any suggestion? I see TC Electronic have K212 and RS212 (both in 8 ohm). Anyone know the sound-difference between those? Edited October 28, 2016 by Mokolotivet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 A Reidmar and one EBS212 will surely be loud enough for anything not requiring PA support? Given you are close to Sweden, I would be looking at TKS Engineering cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Consider the Darkglass M900 or Mesa Subway and you will be able to add a 4ohm later too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deksawyer Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Or the Eich S212, M212 or L212, depending on your taste. http://www.eich-amps.com/cms/content/home I used to own the Tecamp Neo M212 and it was the best single cab solution for me. The size/weight/sound was perfect and I should have just kept it! D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K212 goes a little deeper than the RS and the top end has more of a sparkle owing to the difference in tweeters. The RS cabinets have a slightly more prominent mid range, but still manage a hifi type character with the right amp. Naturally the RH has that 'rock valve amp' presence and the BH heads are more about the wide big clean volume. I really liked the K-Cabs in review. a 210 on top of a 212 sounded great. I was impressed with the big tones from the 410 and 115 combination too in my review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bad noone have bassamps to try nearby. In norwegian kroner, Reidmar will cost me 5400NOK and Darkglass 9800NOK. There is a difference. But is it worth it? Anyone tried them?

machinehead Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The Reidmar 750 is an excellent amp and it's the one to go for if you're on a budget. I think it will do everything you need. I really like mine a lot and the price is very competitive. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Rather than limit yourself to an 8ohm cab look at the cab that best suits, then get a splitter cable/box from our very own OBBM that will enable you to connect two 4ohm cabs to a 4ohm amp, if you decide you need another cab. You just plug two ordinary speakon leads into it, then the box connects to the amp, so if only using one cab, just use one lead without the box.

If something is worth the extra money, then I would gladly save some more Still got my BG250 with BC212. The choice is mainly between 3 models: - EBS Reidmar 750 - Darkglass 900 - GK MB800 fusion Though, I havent tested any of them. And noone got them around where I live.

Mokolotivet Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Thanks for all help. Just ordered Reidmar 750. Now to find a cab that fits. Thinking EBS 2x112 CL. Do you think that will be enough on medium gig without PA-support? I do also consider other options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
