I'm possibly think about getting a Thunderfunk amp.

What cab or cabs work well with them ?

Thunderfunk

I have an Accugroove El Wappo that I have had now for 4 years and I want for nothing else. I like Accugroove cabs with the Thunderfunk amps.
Enjoy!

The Bergantino AE line (specifically, the AE410 and AE212) absolutely kill with the Thunderfunk amps.

I'm using a Genz Benz Neox 212T with my Thunderfunk, and it sounds pretty rad.

When I had mine TFB, it seemed to play well with every cab I tried it with.
I believe Thunderfunk specifically recommend Accugroove, but I never had one.

My personal experience with my TF amps:

Eden 2x10: OK
Epifani 3x10: Bad, Punchy though
Epifani 2x12: Just Bad
Aguilar GS 2x12 or 1x12: Very Good
Ampeg 8x10: Awesome. Just awesome.
Acme B2: Excellent
Bergantino HT112: Super Sweet

I know it's not that helpful without telling more about why I felt that way, but I don't have the vocabulary.

I would highly recommend trying a Thunderfunk amp on a gig before you commit to it. They are fine amps, but the sound isn't for everyone - I personally prefer the MarkBass heads (and you already own one).

I also liked the Thunderfunk with every cab I tried it with. The Bergantino NV610 was the top dog for sure, though.

thunderfunk sound great in almost all settings--the timbre knob allows you to simply tweak it for a variety of conditions. I've used mine w/ ampeg 4x8, pr1832he & pr1528he, Schro 1212L, SS 2x12, Lomo 1x15, Acoustic 106 2x15; a big Bag End w/ 1x18 & 1x12(?) it's a GAS killer IMO

My TFB550 sounded great with SWR Goliath III's. My TFB750 sounds great with Berg AE's and Mesa Powerhouse cabs.

For small shows, I use an Acme B2, and for bigger shows an Aguilar GS412. Both sound great.

It's all true! The warm, deep TF750 complements the tight, punchy Berg AE cabs phenomenally. That's one rig I would not mind owning again...

Using a Tfunk 750 with one or two Berg AE112. It sounds wonderful! Also got good results with a 420 through a pair of Aggie GS112. Given I only do this as a hobby rather than for a living it's arguably overkill, but it just sounds so darned good...I was looking to get heft and authority at low volume and am very satisfied. I also find this amp does a better job with chords and double-stops than many others - less of those weird pitch interactions that affect perception of intonation. Perhaps that means more fundamental and less overtone compared to more "colorful" amps, and a dryer sound than same, but if you're looking for that kind of clean, without sacrificing warmth and heft (and this amp balances "clean" and "warm" like no other), then it's the bomb. You can get more "color" elsewhere, but at a cost with respect to other virtues.
