If I swap out an Ampeg 410he + 15e for one 410HLF will I miss anything?

Furthermore - since I'm getting a Peavey VB-2 should I check out the VB cabs? I see an 810 on the peavey site, but no sign of a 410 or 15?

No I don't think you will lose much. The HLF will probably give you more low-end because it is unrivaled in this department for a 410.

Because of the Ampegs colossal low-end I personally don't think the 410 HLF is a great cab for tube heads. This is just my opinion but putting my Fender 300Pro and Sunn 300T though my 410 HLF just led to too much boom for my tastes.

Good point. I do not want more boom. I want smooth, creamy tube tones. To feel like my ears are being made love to.

Just toying with the idea.

If I were in your position I'd ditch the 15 and get a second 410. Essentially an Ampeg 8x10 fridge in to halfs. VERY nice for tube amps.

Yeah I was thinking about that too. I might check CL for trade stuff. Good plan.

I actually have 2 ampeg 410he's and peavey VB-2. I'm way happy, as this rig can move some serious air. The only downside i have is that each cab weighs 90 lbs, so its kinda a pain to move.

Yes. Some mids and a little volume.

Band members have a dual purpose - playing music AND helping you move your heavy stuff!

exactly. Plus you'll have a very modular rig. I find that giant rumbling bass doesnt work well with this rig since the cabs are sealed. Instead, you use that extra mids for some nice grind and punch.
