Man, this is tough. Both sound good. One looks cooler and has more features, one is as small as I can realistically go for any size stage.
Hmmm.

| | | | I'm leaning towards the TC. In a side by side test, the NeoX puts the hurt on the RS212. No comparison IMO. The NeoX can stand on it's own with 500 watts hitting it and fill any stage. I need to use both the 210 and 212 with the TC, but I do get a "fuller" kind of sound with both cabs vs. the NeoX. Hard to describe...
Then I can grab the 210 and head for small practices.
I hate having to baby the RS cabs though, the NeoX you can throw in the car, or on a cart with no worries.
Always trade offs...

I'd keep the TC rig. You can always remove a cabinet for smaller stuff.

The Genz is light, real light, but still feels and looks heavy duty.
And of course, the finish on the TC stuff doesn't give you a lot of confidence when sliding them into trucks or whatnot. I have a TUKI cover for the 212, need to get another for the 210.
These are the older finish, maybe the new black glossy finish is that much better.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Fort Worth -- that's my hood. | | | I'd trade the two heads, the Neox212, & the RS212 in on a TCE RH750 and another RS210 (or two more!).
Actually, I've never heard the Neox212, but heard really good things about them -- If you prefer a one cab solution, you should probably keep that. It's probably a good match up with the GK MB500.
If you prefer modular -- do like I suggested above -- I REALLY like the sound of the RS210!

The TC cabs aren't my cup of tea. |

| | | | Honestly, I was ready to get rid of the TC stuff because the NeoX just rocks so much. BUT, I finally got the RS210 yesterday to go with the 212.
This combo of RS212 and 210, layed on their side as shown, completely totally changed my mind on the RS cabs and TC head.
The tone and sound I'm getting out of the 2 cabs is killer. It's bizarre. Not sure why, but just the RS212 did nothing for me. It was okay, kind of flubby and weak on the lower registers.
But man, the two together is just so powerful and clear. I don't know.
If I keep the Genz, I really need another cabinet, one I can carry down stairs easier.
