What did you say? I can't hear with this book err....Pad in front of my face.........hahahaha
In retrospect, that was probably an unfortunate turn of phrase. It's been a long week.

Unless the small weight and price difference are an issue, I'd say Changeling all the way.
I just received my C112T and though I haven't had a lot of time with it yet I love everything it does and it gives up nothing especially with the ability to shelve down the rear 3" if you want. Overall it's really subtle anyway, just adding a bit of output in that range while also adding the "sense of space"
Comparing my Hathor 1203 and Changeling 112T is not straightforward because there are many differences, not just the rear firing 3" cone. Going from the older single port 1203 to the "tall" version of the Changeling with 4x small ports is a big difference in the low end presentation. I like both in different ways, and find that I like different combos of the mid and high switches on each cab. I also had Duke change the high end roll-off point on the upper switch to be an octave higher so it has a different impact than the 3.5 kHz roll-off on the 1203 which I pretty much never use.

Which cabs are you talking about? My 115's are -4 dB at 62 Hz "on paper", though I've been told they sound like they have more low end than that number implies.
If you're talking about one of my 115's, my modelling program says -10 dB @ 43 Hz with all ports open.

Thank you.. that is awesome....Yes it was one of the 115 cabs...
Thank you for giving us the most trusted specs... Much appreciated

yes and...
I'm glad I have the H1203 and the C1203T. The H1203 stays in the car all the time, and while the C1203T isn't big/heavy, it is bigger and heavier than the H1203. For me the H1203 goes out on all the jazz hits and quieter other genre gigs, C1203T can do a louder rock gig (will test that on Tue in a power trio setting), then the pair for when I need to push more air.
If you had TC112, H1203 and C1203T along with a 2-ohm capable head, you're pretty much set for anything.
Shameless cross-post, just for fun. This sounds frikking sick at any amount of gain:
My brother is borrowing my other Hathor right now, but I really want to borrow it back so I can hear Verellen overdrive through a full-on Audiokinesis tower.

Just waiting for comments about how lame it is to have casters under 23# of cab and 2.2# of amp. It's a padded platform to isolate from the floor a bit

Us AK nerds aren't exactly the "hit the gym and quit whining" type.
I've got the TC112 and the 2-ohm capable head now. I don't have the $$ to spring for both a H1203T and a C1203T though. Just gonna be one of them.
I'm impressed when someone has out lazied me.speak for yourself
