I have always been a "prove it" kind of guy when it comes to gear. As many of you know I have had health issues but a finally good. So I need to make life easier. The Xsonics 212CF seams to be just that. Easier and powerful and clean. At 42 pounds ,4ohms and 800 watts makes for a real serious piece of gear. Carried in in one hand , bass on back and Shuttle max 12.0 in other hand. Set pretty flat sounded great. Horizontal or vertical both sounded great. A totally different character but great. Low "B" string was tight and defined... So much so that I may have over used it. I say check them out . The cabinet is smaller than my 210 and has 12s in it.   |

I think for about anything one would use a 410 for this will get it done. It is loud and tight. |

And as a matter of fact we were hitting a "g" groove pretty hard and I popped 5 th fret harmonics on the d and g strings and they sounded fat and were very present |

Then you could get two of them and still be at 4 ohms. I just dislike going down to 2 ohms at any time. Call me paranoid--but that's how I feel.

It would be 600 watts with Faital Pro 12pr300 drivers which sound very nice. |

The 210 is modeled after the Eden 210XLT from what the website reads. This makes me excited as that is my current cab and a favorite of mine and would LOVE to be able to do a side by side. Going to have to save my pennies to do so, but mat very well be worth it. A smaller, lighter version of one my favorite 210;s? Win as far as I concerned. And Fretlessboy is in my home town, so I will have to catch him out live with his cab.

Owner, Xsonics Bass Cabinets | | Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Hoffman Estates, Illinois | | | Glad to hear your enjoying your cabinet Dennis. I should have discussed with you to option to compound push/pull load your Xsonics cabinet. It's a subtle change in performance and overall tone. One more tool in the toolbox to get guys their "ideal" sound. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
