or a 115 with a 3015 non lf? i have a avatar 210, building matching cab to put my 3015 in. how would that do with one of these. Or better just go with a 4ohm?
My LDS 15/6 has the 18sound mid and no tweet. Sounds like I'd have to find someone knowledgable enough to build and install a new xover for both cabs, since I have zero skills in this area
Bummer, since the LDS cab is almost 20 lbs lighter. My TB153 is waiting at my office....but I'm away and won't get to play it until Sunday

Email Ralf is how I'd roll. I am nearly positive he could give you a pretty solid sounding generic crossover. It might require you mailing him the woofer for measurements though.
Well, 1st I'll spank the cab and see if I want to go through all the hassle or simply deal with the extra weight of the Avatar.
Having the best of both worlds is VERY appealing, however.
BTW-who's Ralph?

Patterson is his last name.
He builds his own line of cabs, and does crossover work for other folks too.

Nice... great playing too... The band sounds pretty good... You and that drummer must have done a Vulcan mind meld...
I've read nearly all of the 33 pages but can't find a deifinitive answer as to how much power this cab needs. Have been told that the fEarful design really wants to see more than the 300 Watt (at 4 ohms load) of say an SVT or Mesa WA.
Anybody have experience as to what kind of power is necessary as well as the obvious direct comparison to LDS / fEarful designs?

It's at the other end of the scale, too small to go deep, with a woofer with too short an xmax to handle more than 100 watts. And as for this in the ad copy: The woofer is also angled down 45 ... to bounce the bass sound off the floor or stage to generate a natural delay.

Necessary for what? It doesn't 'need' any specific power level; no cab does. Longer xmax means it can take more power, not that it needs more.
I've played the combo and it sounds very good.
I bought the MB10 and it's a killer unit.
Yeah it is. There's a whole topic on the new MB combo line, go there for good info.
Back to Avatar! Looking forward to more reviews, like from the guy who's gonna drop the Marbass Little Mark III on it.
I am also anxious for more reviews. The more I gig mine, the more I love it. I cranked my Avatar TB153 the other night because we played a good size room without the ability to run the bass thru the PA (which was lacking subs) and I was blown away by how much clean deep bottom this cab can throw. It really filled out the bottom of the mix nicely. Anyone else gigged one yet?
