cab efficiency

Times are hard and I need a new cab. had my mind set on a Schroeder 21012 but got to wondering with the efficiency of cabs now a days would a 1012 or a markbass 210 be enough for me. At the most i jam with friends in a basement or if i got back into a band very small venues, I play mostly slap and dubbed out finger style.......using an ampeg svt III pro but may upgrade to a markbass LM III later on..........any opinions are greatly appreciated.

Personally, I'd never use anything smaller than a 2x12 for any kind of band jamminig. I have yet to hear a 2x10 that will give me the volume I want, without straining.

so at the least, I need to add a 112 to the 210, which leads me back to the schroeder 21012. or the 1210 and add a 110.....etc

Lots of people will tell you not to mix speaker sizes. Personally, I think they're probably right, but if you really like it, go for it. Just don't buy blindly, get in a good test run.

I don't have any problem covering rehearsals or reasonable volume small gigs with a 210 but you may want a little more for funkslap or dub stuff. Could probably do what you need to do with 1 good 15.

never been a big fan of 15s maybe i need to look into 212.

OR SHOULD I just replace the speakers and horn in my 410? I would need to wire it up for 4 ohms........anyone done this or got suggestions for speakers

Dmn it this is it........... are avatar cabs just as good as schroeder cabs, my last freakin question on this subject...........I did my research on mixing speakers and I kinda agree.... I swear all I want to know is if avatar cabs are as good as schroeder or even close?
