Just got myself one of these babies, with the extra cab dy'a reckon it'll pump out some serious noise in a biggish hall?

It pumps out some serious noise on its own already but the extra cab would definitely help push more air and achieve better clarity. Like I said, I've used this amp for [i]every single[/i] gig I've played (probably averaging 1.5 gigs a week) for the past two and a half years and probably no more than twice have I pushed both the gain and master above 12 o'clock (and that's with a loud 5 piece covers band with two marshall-toting guitarists and a 6'7 beast of a drummer). It gets a bit lost in big echoey halls and as such I've always wanted to try it with the markbass 2x10 ext cab for a bit of extra punch in those situations but having just bought an Orange PA120 off Tayste my monies will be going into getting a matamp 2x12 for that.
A lot of people agree that the 121H, although bigger, has the rear port, and so sounds more rounded than the 2x10 combo or the 121p. The horn has been said to be less brittle than the tweeter in the other MB combos, but I wouldn't know as I've only used mine.
They cost as much as they do for a reason; the volume/weight ratio is staggering. That they sound awesome too is just the icing on the cake; their renowned clarity of tone really isn't just hype.
I ought to get commission if this sells but to be fair I'd sing its praises any day of the week to anyone who'd listen, such is the awesomeness of the Markbass CMD121H!
