[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]i have been using a Markbass traveler 15 cab together with a traveler 2by 10 cab for years and they have served me well. however I want to go for a 1 cab solution. i need a relatively small replacement, so 4by10 lightweights are out. I play in a rock setting so plenty of ooomph required here. Using a markbass f500 amp so the replacement cab will need to be a good match. Any suggestions fellas?[/font][/color]

Many folks here will recommend Barefaced - a super 12 T would sound like the flagship model for your needs.
If you don't have almost a grand to spare, take a look at the GK 2x12 neo II. Just a few kg heavier but half the cost of a S12T. A very, very competent cab also.

I am guesing you'll need a horn... if not then a 212 over a 15. 210 not enough for loud bands.

Agreed. 210 not loud enough. Anyone tried the genz [color=#000000][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][b]NEOX NX2 212T?.[/b][/size][/font][/color]

That would be my choice for a lightweight 4 ohm small-ish cab. I wouldn't have a one cab solution without a horn or a mid driver.

Yep and it should match your 2x10 and 1x15 imo, equal to any 4x10 and better than many I have used, no idea what the barefaced are like but I'd be surprised if the gk was even close, I know they have some build quality issues too but then again a neox is £800.

yeah the barefaced compact should be plenty loud.

Have you tried using your traveller 15 on its own?

yea tried the 15 on its own but it needs the 2x10 to give it the extra mid/high end push and allows the f500 to run at 500 watts

I suspect you are mixing up what you have heard about the much cheaper MBE series cabs (which are clearly made down to a price) with the much higher quality neo cabs. You will struggle to find much bad written about these GK neo cabs, as most owners simply seem very happy, and I can attest to this.
it' a little unfair to put down something you have no experience of, and have not tried to find out a balanced online experience of.

Thats fair enough I have indeed mixed it up with the cheapo one which does have issues (many on this forum over the last few months), fwiw I have tried GK gear inc the 2x12 and for me the 4 ohms, taller cabinet, front porting and rubber castors still swayed me anyway, in its defence again the Genz is much more expensive still at an extra £300. :)

Hydrive 112 should do the job in most small to medium sized situations.

I love my Genx 1x12T cab and it will do most gigs but if the OP is looking to shed a 2x10 and a 1x15 without feeling like he has lost out a single 1x12 wont cut the mustard IMO? 2 of them maybe but thats not a one cab solution is it ;)
