FS: Avatar B210 and B115H - $200 each

Up for sale are two 4 ohm Avatar cabs. I am the original owner of both, circa 2005. Both cabs are in great shape and function 100%. PayPal preferred.

Pic of both cabs (the rack equipment is NOT for sale):

Avatar B210 4 ohm $200
This is the original model, prior to the Neo speakers. I recall they are the Delta Pro 10's which aren't offered any more. Adjustable crossover in the back and 1/4" connections. I'm guessing the weight is in the high 60's. Dave from Avatar said the cab is rated at 700W.

Avatar B115 4 ohm $200
This is the original 1x15 model, no longer offered. It DOES have a Neo speaker. Adjustable crossover in the back and 1/4" connections. I'm guessing the weight is in the 50's. Dave from Avatar said the cab is rated at 500W.

For the moment, I'm going to say local pickup only. I live in 06801 and work in 06897. If you're in northern CT or NY boarding fairfield county, perhaps we can work out a meet or something. If there's not much local interest, perhaps I'll think about figuring out shipping.

Thanks for looking!

Wait so if I stack both cabs I would have to run my amp at 2 ohms. So if my amp runs 400 watts at 4 ohms, what would it be at 2 ohms? Louder our quieter?

Make sure first your amp can run a 2 ohm load before you even think about that. If it will run a 2 ohm load, it will run hotter and be louder. But if it cannot run a 2 ohm load, you will be shopping for a new amp as well.

i dont think my gk head can run at 2 ohms. but how do you tell if you can run at 2 ohms? other than it says so on the back of the amp. like how do you hook everything up? do you know if the genz benz streamliner 900 @ 2 ohms?

Your amp only runs at 2 ohms if the manufacturer says so, period. If it's not printed on the amp itself, and it's not in the manual, then it's not gonna happen. I can tell you from first hand experience you will destroy an amp, because I accidentally did it one day!

I've been using the Avatar's with an amp (GB ShuttleMAX 12) that can drive each cab with a separate PSU, so I'm running two 4 ohm cabs independently. On the flip side, I believe I can run my AI Focus down to 2 ohms (never have), but I recall it's printed on the amp and in the manual.

Don't take chances with amps...or you'll be out $$$ like I was once...a mistake I will hopefully only ever make that one time!

Ok. I don't think these cabs are for me. Thanks for responding quickly!

May I ask why did you get both cabs in 4 ohms as opposed to 8 ohms? What head were you running?

When I first got these cabs, I was running a Hartke HA7000. I ran it in Bi-amp mode so it was loading each cab separately with 350W.

After I sold the Hartke, I went the separate pre & amp route, so each would take a side of a stereo power amp. For smaller shows, and depending on the music, I'd sometimes just run one cab with a small single channel bass amp.

As of late, I'm running a GB SM 12.0, which has two separate power amps. I believe I could also use my AI Focus down to 2 ohms, but I've never tried it.
