Do you multiple cabs from the same company, what do you have & why?

Mesa Boogie. I tried all the new Subway line. I loved the D-800+. So, I keep 2 on hand. For cabs I have a pair of Subway 212s. And a pair of Subway 410s. I also have a custom built Epifani UL 901. I was a GK junkie for decades, but their new line was terrible. So, I tried Mesa. Now I'm good.

I owned multiple Ashdown cabs back in the day, but that was because I was experimenting with different speaker sizes before I knew better. It wasn't brand loyalty - it was just all you could buy in local shops.

 

These days I own multiple Barefaced cabs based on the progression...

 

Super 12 - Bought because everybody said it was the one cab to do pretty much any gig. It was. It still is.

G2 Midget - Bought because it's half a Super 12 and sometimes that's all you need. Also vertical 3x12 potential.

One10 #1 - Received as a birthday gift.

One10 #2 - Bought to make a pair with the first one so it was any use to me.

Two10 - Bought to give me the same sound as the pair of One10s in a one-hand-carry format. Also vertical 4x10 potential.

 

I don't know whether it's brand loyalty as such - more just that they engineer light cabs that perform well and look acceptable in a utilitarian kind of way, and if something goes wrong they sort it out.

I've bought 3 barefaced cabs over the years. I initially bought a second generation Compact, then due to financial issues had to sell it. Once I was out of my financial downturn I bought another Compact which I still have. I also bought a Super Compact, as I thought that it would be an improvement on the original but soon realised that it just didn't have the output of the original 15 inch speaker version and sold it recently.

I would class myself as being brand loyal. 
I’ve owned Swr bass cabs, for the last 25 + years.

At one point I used to own 4 x 2x10 goliath juniors, but now I’m down to two.

Just love the bottom end punch & the famous Swr sizzle at the top end.

 It’s a sound that I’m used to, especially when playing live, the sound just cuts through. 

Used to own their amps too, but these have been moved on.

I picked up a pair of Fender V2's designed to go together 2 x 8 and a 1 x 10 off ebay, nano drivers so only 13 kg each and sound good, can't see me changing them

I went for simplicity & low weight in my previous band so gigged with a single Schroeder 1212L. My current band already owned an Ashdown stack when I joined, so I use their cabs, an ABM210 & an ABM115, with my own Ashdown ABM600 Evo iv which I bought as their existing evo ii had a few quirks.

I have two Bergantino cabs, an AE410 and an NXT212. I don't need multiple rigs but I've been so impressed with Bergantino since buying the AE410 then a B|Amp I bought a NXT212 when they came out as I was curious about trying a 212.
 

I'd happily gig with either cab but the NXT212 is my part of my gig rig. Since I've started using iem's (with backline) for gigs and a Boss WAZA Air for home practice I can't envisage a situation where I'd need two cabs again, although it's currently nice to have them
