neepheid Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1404476130' post='2492955'] I have a 2x1x12 purple chilli setup at the moment... Sounds great and the cabs are super light but they are still quite big. [/quote] Good to hear you're pleased with the sound. Sure, probably doesn't take up much less space when they're stacked, but two pieces can be stored around the house and transported in more flexible ways than one monolithic lump of speakers and wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints with the sound though, they are excellent cabs. Edited July 4, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1404473914' post='2492924'] Which brand(s)? [/quote] I'm using Aguilar DB cabs.... I think they are fine sounding cabs and speak very well. I am not sure the chassis' are anything too special on paper but I think they don't need to be. I also think they have gone up in price recently.. not sure why that is but not an issue in so far as I don't plan to sell them soon. I far prefer these cabs to Berg AE112 which I also have. More likely to sell them sooner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 For me... Barefaced Super Compact. Everything I've wanted in a cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price rise is a shame....but I suspect its because they now have a middleman / supplier in the UK. Never really understood the need as every time I needed service I contacted the store I bought them from or Aguilar direct. It's a small world now.

skej21 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Aguilar DB112NT for me. Just the right amount of every aspect of tone. Warm, responsive, not too much treble (thanks to the lack of tweeter), reasonably lightweight and looks AWESOME in tweed. Perfection for me.

rumour6 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 OK if we include transport no problem (you need a van) then my old Trace 1812 stack. Bottom side of the Bi-amp is an 18" (Fane Colossus: ported), 15" (Celestion Powercel: sealed) and Hi-pass handled by a 12" (RCF) in a flare. All in one box, 55" tall and just over 110Kg (made from HDF: later 18mm Birch ply ones I had were lighter). 'Course you need an AH500 to run it (23Kg).. When I bought my original ones in '84 I had Trace flight case them...stairs NOT an option for one person... So BEST ever was two of the above at a time : Now you see where the van came in...

jacko Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'm currently loving my 2 mesa Powerhouse cabs but i'd choose the 212 over the 210 if i was only allowed one. It copes with everything I put through it and sounds great regardless of the head I'm using at any one time. (and it has wheels ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsgbass Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Either 1 2X212, or 2 2X212 TC Electronic BC212 cabs. They are reasonable in price, well manufactured, and sound great with the Eminence speakers.

bassmayhem Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 The best cab is the one best suited to your playing. Mine are the TKS 2126 cabs with 2x12" and 1x6" elements. Light, low, clean and powerful, like studio monitors on steroids... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handwired Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Berg NV412 followed very closely by the Berg NV610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b'boom Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 At present, the cab which I like most is Barefaced '69er ( with my Alessandro Basset Hound valve amps, or Monique preamp by Jule Amps + Minnie 800D by Demeter ), but my opinion should change when I shall receive one Rétro Six10 and one Rétro Two10 . The Mesa Scout Radiator is a very good 15" single cab, too : Big, fat, and tremendous bass tone for a tiny cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
