best extension cab for a v-type combo?

Recommended Posts

after a couple of gigs with my trace v-type combo i've decided i could do with another cab to give me a little more clean headroom. It did fine, but at the edge, its gets a bit grindy which i like... but it doesn't suit some of the songs i'm playing.

i'm thinking i'd do best with a 2x10 configuration because i don't need masses more volume and it would add some nice top end to my sound. i've got about £300 to spend at a push but would rather spend closer to £200.

at a glance i've come up with the likes of a Hartke 210xl, warwick 211 pro, and the ampeg svt-210av.
out of those i like the look of the svt best... but i'm worried it wouldn't provide the goods... seems more aimed at the practice amp market.

any recommendations / advice?
cheers.

I had a Hartke 2x10 XL - nice and light, not overly bassy, but, if yr looking to add air being moved to yr set-up, and a bit more top end, it would prob be fine.

I used it with the Hartke 1x15 XL and together they sounded very good indeed. Always a good coupling, 1x15 & 2x10, in my view.

An incredible combination and you can pick them up on Ebay for around the £100 mark if you are patient.[/quote]
+1, or a 1153. Either which way a second 15" will just destroy walls with that combo and you can use the treble control to dial any hi freqs in - you don't need 10s for top end :)

that makes me happy.

just looking at the 1153 specs, these cabs are just over 20kilos which is pretty impressive for trace stuff, i was expecting something weighing more than the moon like the combo / my old 1524 cab. i'll keep an eye out.

cheers for the help.
