210+115 rigs

That would be the ultimate. The reason I sold the HT322 was because of the weight and size of the darn thing. It wasn't practical for me at all. A neo-loaded version would be the bee's knees
A bit off topic, but way back I got a slightly used GK 800rb paired with a SONIC FunkBass cab, 18-210. It works well with the bi-amp of the GK. I played many a gig with it and still jam with it to this day. Though it's not my main rig, I see no reason to let it go. But with out the GK bi-amp it probably would be useless.
EDIT: The 210 compartment is very small and sealed and doesn't carry much low end. May be why it works pretty well with the 18.

I had one and sold it for the same reason. Great cab.
Apparently I have missed something. What effect does a "power-handling mismatch" have on the sound of a cabinet ?
There's nothing wrong with the PH1000, it's a great cab (at least the EV loaded diesel version is, no experience with the newer versions)
The only downside of that cab is the weight, it sounds awesome!

I have a Unique setup. I use a Hartke LH1000 into an Avatar B115 and a B210. I run it in Dual Parallel Mode: 2 x 545 watts @ 2 ohms. I usually keep the Balance Knob centered. It sounds fantastic once EQ is figured out for the room. I would love to have a second B210 instead but I'm happy with it.
The mismatch is this: The 15" is at it's excursion limit, farting out and sounding like stinky poop way before the 4 10s have even broken a sweat.
If you want to try it for tone and/or looks, then try it. A good number of guys think it's a great setup. You might love it. Could be the best thing since sliced bread. Sure makes tons more sense than a 410/115.
Still, even though a 210/115 pairing might sound really good to you, the odds are pretty strong that you'd like the sound of a 2x115 or 2x210 even more.
Regardless, after you go one way or the other, report back with your findings

I had at one time a Berg NV425 ( it was a 3-10 and a 15 ) and it was the best sounding cabinet that had mixed drivers, the only other cabinet combination that sounded good was the Aguilar GS 212 & GS 210
I used a 2x10+1x15 setup for several years. Sounded great to me... I found it to be a well-rounded system, tonewise. I prefer a 2x10 + 4x10 these days though.
Depends on how it is set up. If the 15's are LF drivers and the 10 is an appropriately chosen mid driver, AND there is an appropriate cross over. Then a 215+10 could be great.
True Vince, seems that configuration was popular for a while...used to have a EAW (the pa company) 18/2x10in the early 90's, although a large cab with beefy 10's the 18 performed 'lows' better then the 10's did upper bass
No the 3620 I believe is the two 18 two 10 cab.
The 1810 and 1820 were the same set up of two 10s one 18
but I think the 1820 (or the other way around 1810
) was a little smaller and a bit more portable. I used to have two I have a Carvin Cyclops cab, 0ne 15 two 8s and a horn.
It's run bi-amped with a BX1500 Carvin bi-ampable head.
Sounds good to me.
