I'm not either, but if you're going to mix them, a 210/15 isn't a bad rig. Price seems "ok".

I'd think it's a little on the high side considering the 115 cab hasn't been made for some time.

IMO, a better choice would be the Avatar TB153 for $449. You'll get the amazing Eminence 3015LF plus a 6.5 and a tweeter.

If I were going the Avatar route, I'd consider a 153 before that rig.

That was my very first stack back in 2002. I then sold the 1x15 and bought a 1x12. I ran that rig for the last 7 years. Killer rig. I only sold it because I wanted lighter weight cabs but I should have kept them. I lost my sound. I'm now on my never ending search for my sound again. I don't think there are any issues mixing different cabinets.

+1!!!

I'm gigging with two Avatar Neo 210 cabinets, but, if I was in the market for a new cabinet a Avatar TB153 would be first on my list.

I'd have to find the old Bassplayer magazine, (several years back), that had the Avatar ad showing their Kappa loaded cabinets to be 100% for sure,
but,
I believe the B210 Kappa was $269.00 new.
The 115 was something like $289.00 new.
These prices maybe alittle high.

Wow. If that's so what a rip honestly for a used setup.

But have you checked those prices? By the time you get 'em shipped to the states it's pretty expensive.

The avatar TB153 is one of the best values i've seen, and it's made with great components!
