Nice to see that you realized that with some patience, paying more for top quality is paying less since you wont end up swapping gear for the next 5 years  ... unlike I did

I think I'll wait until I can hear a few in person.

So true, I went through a few different rig combinations and lost money on them all before I got to where I am now ! Quote: |

You might find the 1x12 with tweeter alone moves as much air as the combination you are thinking of. Go look at the sensitivity of the Barefaced Compact: http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/compact.htm
and the SVT 8x10: http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/svt810e/

About 100 shows by now with this rig - clubs, pubs, a marquee or two.
I definitely don't think a Midget will work for everybody, but here's my experience.
The regular soul/country/psychedelic band reserves the PA for acoustic, vocals, and horns. 40W guitar amp, 100W keys combo, drums and bass are all backline only. Midget's coped fine, every single time, so far.
Did a rock'n'roll dep a few weeks ago. PA for vocals only, LOUD guitar, loud keys, drummer going for it. Again, the Midget was totally fine.
A friend borrowed the Orange/Midget for a blues gig, so I went along. Here the guitarist had a silverface Fender Super Six. Badass amp. Volume was okay standing near the front, but up against the back wall in the bright, bouncy room it was like undergoing some form of sonic interrogation technique. And the Midget was STILL fine.
Before ordering, I was all set on a Compact. I sent Alex soundclips, videos, a rig list, a letter. He said it sounded like a Midget would be ideal for me; I didn't really believe him but ordered one because with the great one-month return policy I could always change it for a Compact. (If I'd gone for a Compact first it would have done the job for sure, but I would simply have kept it, never knowing if a Midget would have worked.)
But Alex was right. As I've told him already, it's the best piece of bass equipment I've ever bought.
