10' vs 12' vs 15'

[mrmax]

I have an Acoustic 371 stack (370 head + 301 18" cab) and had never tried that head with any other cabinets. Well 3 weeks ago I won a SWR Big Bertha (2-15 + horn) on ebay, wasn't really sure what I was going to with it (Get another SWR amp or what) , I already had an old 240 watt Redhead & Goliath jr III (2-10 +horn). I didn't really like the Redhead/Big Bertha combination. So I took the 370 amp & Big Bertha (4 ohm)& Goliath jr(8 ohm) and plugged them all together. I'm in love. I should add that I played Bass many years ago and I've been playing guitar mainly since 1973 and I bought that Acoustic Rig for the "house Bass system" for whenever Bass players would come by my house to jam, so I hadn't really played that amp much. Well all that has changed now. What a sound! I'm playing Bass in a brand new band and used to have a large SWR Rig ,but sold or traded most of my Bass gear when I couldn't get a gig. (Didn't mean to ramble) I'm new to this forum but hardly a newbie.

My preference these days is to stack two 210's vertically.

Poll options are skewed away from 15s, alas.

Some people still like big speakers in big boxes. For some applications, they're tough to beat.

2 1x15's it is for me, and I don't think of my Bag Ends as being big at all. I've had 2x10, 4x10, 2x12, 2x15; and the B.E. 1x15 takes up less space than my 2x10 did.

In general, IMO, the whole signal chain, and intended application need to be considered together.

I agree, we just needed 75 more to stop the thread.
