I didn't think this was about sound, I thought it was about getting his beer to the right height.

Couple of these



Boom

??? Of course tilting it back accomplishes a lot. It ain't just the clicks and pops blowing past your ears but the mids.

You have to go high end to get 2x10 that does much more than 250W before farting out. I'm a bit biased because my own 250W amp is a real 180W with at least 360w peak into 8 ohm and my SWR JR 2x10 looks sideways at it begging not to be beaten up. It still does a good job on smaller gigs and monitor.

I wonder why the micro VR isnt doing it for you? I'd get another 210AV and a wee dolly and strap it all together. Otherwise I'd be looking at 2x12 combo from Genz, expensive though!

Good combo. A 2x10 cab is what it is, so you can't expect to play huge gigs with it. But if you have FOH support, for example, it would be great (excellent DI) - and obviously it's completely sufficient for smaller gigs.

That 6.0 head is both detachable and very powerful, by the way, so you can take it off and easily use it with larger cabs if you'd like - I've done that many times.

It also has tilt-back legs - although that's not good for putting your beer on it ...

Dont invest too much time/money in a 210 combo more powerful than that... The speakers will be limited mechanically and the extra power isnt going to do much for you.

Even better than a 2x10 stacked vertically is a cab that is can wedge itself upwards. I have the GK NEO 2x10 - unfortunately it is discontinued. It can tilt back to point directly at your ears - a much more efficient way of hearing yourself. A 2x10 stacked vertically at close range will still shoot towards your knees or hips at best.
