BAD fEARless 110 - greenboy goes even smaller

I think if you have the 3015 loaded cab now, the best pairing would be a second one.

I'm sure a Compact is a perfect match for another Compact but they run out of steam at 4KHz. Barefaced recommend the Midget for pairing with the Compact.

What I mean is would this be a good match in the same way that a Barefaced Midget (3012) is a recommended match for a Compact (3015) due to the same motor being used in the 3012 and 3015. How similar is the 3010 to its bigger brothers?

Well, the 3010LF is a good match with the 3012LF and 3015LF in the FEARLESS line. However, I would be more concerned in matching the upper end (midrange speaker). The F110, F112, and F115 were all designed to be used together, if you so desire.

The 3012 and 3015 (no LF models) are not necessarily a good match for any 2 or 3-way cab that uses LF drivers.

Though not the cheapest solution, I've been practicing and even doing small yours with just the F112, but I also have an F115, which I LOVE and use on slightly bigger and louder shows...stack the two, and it's the finest thing I've ever heard, IMO. Since the F110 is even smaller, I'd love to try that for small to medium gigs, and put it up on an F115 for the big noisy gigs and outdoors...pretty easy schlep, even when you have to bring out both...somewhere around 80lbs for both cabs that I'd take over any 810 at twice the weight...yes please :)

If the Fearless line all sound tonally the same I assume the difference is that the 10 has the least SPL, the 12 more and the 15 the most?

It seems the F110 and F112 sound identical, so your considerations are (as Julian said), pack space, weight, SPL, etc.

The F115 sounds similar, certainly the same ballpark, but not the same exactly. The higher sensitivity of the 3015LF makes for a slightly 'girthier' low end and comes off as a little less mid forward, especially at low to moderate volume. Not a night a day thing, but they do sound a bit different. Having done quite a few gigs on both the F115 and the F112, they are both a joy to play through :)

I did a heavy blues upright gig last night...two guitars, one through a Fender Vibrolux, one through a Marshall Plexi, hard hitting drummer, harp through an amp, loud keyboards. I played through an F112 and was arguably too loud :)

beautiful. What application are you planning on using it in? Of the 100 gigs or so I do every year I try to imagine getting away with something like this but always question how realistic it would be. gigging or just living room rocking??

Not sure who that question was for, but I've averaged over 200 shows a year for at least a decade. The F112 has handled the most recent trio tours I've been doing and with enough power, the F115 can really handle pretty much anything :)

Don Barry is an awesome builder, but these designs come from greenboy.

Don Barry would be the first to point that out :)

F210 is up next...F212 should be coming relatively soon.

I'm pretty sure no one has more production model cabs still available than greenboy...it'll be at least 25 different models by the end of the year :)
