markbass 102 standard hf vs Ashdown Classic klystron 210

Hi has anyone ever A B,d these 2 cabs, Ive also got a traveller 210, and Im thinking of a possible swap to all Markbass but not sure how the 2 compare, specs on the Ashdown seem to be better than the Markbass, and it is a good sounding cab, rated at 550 watts,

currently using an LM3 head

Any opinions on this much appreciated

Cheers Paul

Yes, I have.
The MarkBass cab ruins the Ashdown one. It certainly moves more air and sounds much tighter. I swap between EB and DB during sets and found that the Ashdown sounded great with my EB but just didn't seem to 'keep up' with the DB.

I now have 2 travellers that I stack vertically for bigger gigs.

The traveller is also smaller and much lighter.


It's not that I hate Ashdown either!

Great, thanks for that, I've noticed that my traveller definitely has a naturally deeper sound than the Ashdown, and was wondering if the HF version is noticeably deeper than the Traveller, if that was the case its definitely time for a swap,
