Looks great! Do you think that amp with just one 210AV would carry a small/medium sized gig with some PA support? I need it for more than just my stage monitor but it doesn't need to completely carry the room...kinda sharing the load with a moderate PA. Thanks!
I've done it a million times. Don't expect death metal volumes, but I think it would be fine for what you want it for.
Thanks JimmyM...reading through a couple of these threads it sounds like you're the go-to expert on this rig for awhile now, so i definitely trust your input. Oh also, how many watts is the PF350 at 8 ohms if i'm only using one 210AV cab? My setup would be an MXR M80 DI that's also a little preamp boost pedal, the PF350 and a single 210AV cab (for now)...i don't need a second cab, but i could still see myself getting one at some point, just because, you know...GAS!
The PF350 does 250w at 8 ohms. You will have to be a little careful with only one cab if you plan on playing louder than me, but it's never been an issue for me as I don't ever get close to that point.
The 210AV cab sounds amazing. Its build quality isn't exactly winning awards any time soon, however, and you'll notice that as it gets a little mileage.
What's wrong with them? Mine are still doing very well after over 5 years.
I have to say I have to disagree with you on that one.
But then again, I never dropped it, drove over it with a tank or yanked a full volume SVT CL through it...
Excellent, thanks yall! My main band is just vox, bass, 1 guitar and a nice v-drum kit, so i definitely don't need to be super loud. This thing will be replacing a 2010-era GK MB115 which seems to be on it's last legs, and at 200 watts has been plenty for me.
Now just planning to see if i can get any good Memorial Day deals this weekend....

For build quality, the only thing Ive noticed is the tolex dings up if you just look at it. I baby them and always seem to find one spot where it picked up a new tear.
But for volume, its hard to believe something so portable can do so much. I'm tempted to add a SVT115HE to one of the 210av's... but do i want to go back and start lugging 70lbs again? I;m thinking not worth the trade off.
And thanks again Jimmy for the help with the PF350 and the dual 210s! Your settings recommendation was spot on!

I would just add another 210AV, I don't think the SVT115HE and the SVT210AV go together well.
I actually have two 210AVs... just looking for a bit more bottom... I feel like the 210HE's would be compact but deeper... not that the 201AVs are lacking, they sound great.
In that case I would opt for a PF115HE.
I actually prefer the sound of a PF115HE over a SVT115HE.
YMMV

New to the site and I have a question. I'm running my pf350 into two stv210s running at 4ohms plugged into speaker out ( let's call it speaker out #1) I also have an SWR son of Bertha 15" running at 4ohms. My question is can I plug my SWR into speaker out#2 and still have a 4ohm total load on the amp? Or will it become 2 ohms at that point? I haven't tried it yet and I don't want to blow up the amp until I know it safe for the amp. Anyone have any thoughts about this set up? Thanks

Hi Dan, it is not safe for the amp. It does become 2 ohms and is too low for the amp to handle.
That's kinda what I thought. Thanks for the advice. So if I run one SVT out of each speaker out that will make it 4 ohm's then correct?
That's correct. Now you can run only one 210av with the Bertha and you will be fine, but you can only use a combination of two, never three.
