Pros: Fairly lightweight, crisp tone
Cons: poor bottem end, not good at high volumes

In a full band setting I may not recommend it for a stand alone. But in lower volume areas it can hold it\'s own alone. Pair it with a 15 and you\'ll have a killer setup.

Pros: Small, easy to carry; Good crisp defined tone at low volume
Cons: Very little bottom, low power handling

It works well as long as you dont expect too much of it. At lower volumes, the aluminum cones give you a tone that will hang with the big boys. Try to pump some air through this thing though, and you will make it fart in no time. I have one paired with an xl 15, and it does well for stage volume, but there is still little projection of bottom end. The upside to these cabs is their small size and ease of portability. That unfortunately comes at a cost of volume.

Pros: Lighweight, smaller than most 2x10's, good sound
Cons: Not so good with B strings.

It does sound good and is very easy to move, fits in most trunks easily, but can't handle high volume situations.
Of course i never expected it to move much air so that's fine with me, i got these because i needed a small speaker to practice at home and i wanted to stack it with my bigger Hartke 4.5xl.

Pros: good sound and super portable
Cons: volume and low end

For the money you really can't do any better. As others have said, stand alone this cab may leave you wanting. However I use it Bi-Amped with my 1x18 and it works beautifully. Also, this thing will fit anywhere and it's so light your granny could carry it for you

Pros: nice tone, easy weight
Cons: none really

had this one also for 20 years. its great for practice and for rehearsals and smaller gigs. I never pushed it live, but it really has handled everything I have thrown at it.
