Mark Bass - Little Mark Tube 800 and two 102HF cabs

Looking to pick up a new rig soon and this what I'm considering.

Anyone try this? Thoughts, opinions?

Sounds like a good move! Try stacking the 210's vertical - I do that with my 210's and you can really hear yourself well doing that. Have you been able to try out the rig yet? If you like it, buy it!

I'm curious to hear how you like this setup too!

I owned the LMT800 for awhile and I liked it. Although others don't necessarily agree, I found it to sound very similar to my LMII (with my EQ settings) which is a good thing. I haven't tried those particular cabs but in general I like Markbass cabs that have a horn, not a fan of their piezo tweeters.

Haven't tried it out yet, but definitely makes sense on "paper." I might venture out this weekend and see what I can find.

I like the versatility of being able to bring one cab to smaller gigs and still have punch. I wonder, is there a horn control on these? I usually turn the horn off unless I really need it. Stacking them vertically is definitely a good idea and is my intention. Gearhead, do you still maintain good bottom-end with the vertical configuration?

I have no experience with those particular cabs, but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my LMT800 with my Ampeg SVT-15E or my Ampeg SVT-410HLF. That head RAWKS!!! and grooves, and dubs, etc...

Bottom end compared to what - stacking them horizontal? The vertical configuration seems to work wonderfully for hearing myself and I do not feel I am losing bottom end doing this. It's hard to tell though - when I do the vertical stacking it's typically on a big stage and the subwoofers are generally spilling over. So it's hard to tell what exactly I am hearing more of.

Yes. Also, are you able to get a good amount of stage volume without pushing the amp? I do a lot of gigs without PA support, so I'll need be loud. I'm currently using an Eden WT550 with two 15 cabs. Plenty loud for a whole room, plenty boomy too

I can not comment on the position differences, but I will say this; two vertically aligned 210's are definitely loud enough and since they are closer to your ears - you will not have to blast your amp to hear yourself. Put the vertical stack next to a wall and you can get the extra low end.
