Awesome. I wonder if that is just a one-off, or if that is going to be in the product line. If it is, I'll buy one the second it becomes available (assuming is is ported and has a tweeter... can't tell from the pic)!

Im with you I want one pretty much now; I nearly went for a MB NY122, but it was worth just thinking about it a little longer. This looks like the Berg cab Ive been waiting for.

The AE212 will start shipping in late July. |

I have a very nice 212 cab (actually two... TecAmp s212's). However, I just LOVE the voicing of the AE cabs. I hate dragging two 112's around, so this cab might really be cool for me for smaller gigs, where I don't need all the oomph of the mighty AE410, but need more than a 112 or even 210, neither of which ever really satisfied me.
I'll be buying one of these the day they come out |

I just totally dig the whole form factor, look and tone of the AE line... it just speaks to me. I need another vertical 212 like a hole in the head (the TecAmp cabs are amazing, and only 40 pounds). But, the AE calls!
The only way I wouldn't get one is if it turns out to be an 8ohm cab. However, I'm sure it will be 4ohms. |

The older s212's that I have are a bit more hi fi, and don't have quite the 'kick' in the low mids that I assume the AE212 is going to have. Of course, my guess is the AE212 will be 10 pounds heavier, but what the heck. I just dig these cabs. |

Definitely will be grabbing one for myself, and yes it will be 4 ohms. Man the form factor, weight and sound of these AE's is going to make them unbeatable IMO. A great backup for my AE410.
