Thoughts on the relative merits of the following for use with a small head in a modular (get one, get another to stack if I like it) setup?
EA VL110
Acme Low B1
Acme Low B2 (these seem to go for almost the same price as the B1s!)
Epifani PS112
Genz 10" (like w/the shuttle combo -- probably not a fair comparison with the others, though)
Any alternatives you'd suggest? Projected use is 95% electric bass (should handle a low B), 5% amplified cello or upright bass. Tone, volume, portability (comfortable 1-hand carry would be great), and reliability are considerations. One cab could be a little quieter than my Markbass CMD121P combo, but I'd want to be able to get significantly louder with two.
If you're wondering, I have a 2x12+6" mid Dr. Bass cab (acquired here from class TBer Jeff Scott) that gets almost no use (where I would use it, there's a backline); very efficient, tight and clean-sounding, but too big for me to want to carry up and down stairs much. The Markbass is a great grab-n-go, but the 12" is limited by sharing such a small box with a head, and I'm not crazy about the tweeter.
(Obliquely related, I'm playing with the idea of taking the Markbass apart and putting that 12" in its own cab... material for another thread, perhaps!)
