With a 4ohm 212 and an 8ohm 112 (like the Baer and I assume the GK), that really isn't an issue. Each driver gets roughly the same power, so it ends up being a 2.67 ohm 312 cab. If you have a head that can run belw 4ohms, that is a very nice modular rig!

If the 212 is 8ohm, that can be a bit of a problem if you are really cranking, per your point above

My GK stuff is all 8ohm.
Your point is valid. I put the 112 on top soI can hear it complain, if it would, but, with 3 12's I really don't need to push that sitch hard.

He uses the 8 ohm GK 212.

Sun 17Feb @ Santa Monica Windjammer Yacht Club 4pm

Those are all straight jazz gigs. For more towards the rockish end of things (different band):

Sun 24Feb @ West LA Farmer's Market 11am

Next SJ gig is 16Apr @ Typhoon.
what about the Westchester thing? that's like 3 mins from my parents house!

+1 I tell you what, that Baer head with an ML212/ML112 rig would be pretty much perfect. The head would it nicely on top of the Baer in its horizontal configuration for small gigs, same for the ML212 for 'most gigs', and then the monster 2.67 ohm 312 for the rare big one or outside or whatever. Pretty impressive product line.

I'm picking up a ML112 this weekend used from a local TBer. I have a Baby Baby Blue that can use a 8 ohm extension speaker. also have a Shuttlemax12 and an GB Uber 212. Really anxious to see how everything matches up: SM12+ML112, BBB+ML112, SM12+ML112+GB212.

The GB Uber 212 is 102db 1w/1m. The ML112 is 98db 1w/1m. Wondering if the 212 will overwhelm the 112 in that set up. Guess I'll know in a few days.

I'm 100% done mixing brands, and cabs, that weren't specifically designed to be together.

That is a jazz jam in a church with terrible sound - probably the worst environment for hearing what the cab can do.

Do you use the MB Fusion with your Baer ML112 stack? or GK1001 with the Baer Stack?

my Fender 100T will do 2,4, or 8 ohm which is pretty cool. should mix with anything. not ideal due to weight though.

This is really the only thing I'm considering right now other than a 2nd ML112. The single most vertical rig I ever owned was a Neox 212/112 righ with a GBE1200 or Neo-pak (with the 2.66 ohm mod). I'm thinking the Valkyrie with the ML212/112 could be killer, but I need to at least hear some clips of the Valkyrie first before I order one.

Did a one trip load in with the bass on my back, micro on the shoulder and a ML112 in each hand. Been a long time since I had a one tripper. Just sayin' the modular approach works for me. I could do that when I had just the AE112s, but required two trips with the AE210s, Hd210s, AE410, etc, but loved the tone. With the Baer ML112s I do not feel like I am sacrificing tone for weight and can one trip it. Duh, winning!

I tend to agree with you on mixing cabs but since I have new stuff coming in I wanted to see how it played with the old stuff before it went out the door. I love the tone of the Uber 212 but the ML112 is half the weight.

The other reason for a micro cab is that I hate it when my amp looks huge on stage...overkill when playing a simple duo or acoustic trio setting. And the vertical stack of 2 ML112s just looks cool.
