I really like it too. Fits well on top the ML115.
So far they seem happy together. Power wise I definitely don't see myself needing more in speaker or amp. Have a gig Next Thursday so we will see then.

First gig with the ML115. I don't think this cab is even broken in yet. Tried out my new to me Reidmar 750. thing is loud!
Very even sounding cab. Tight but plentiful bottom. Barely pushed it. This was a four piece Electric Jazz group. Looking forward to testing with the full 9 piece band.
Cab is a keeper.

Glad to hear the cab is working for you! I had a chance to play the Reidman 750 at NAMM and thought it was one of the best sounding amps at the show. Seems like a good match for the ML115. I would imagine that this rig would be able to cover a lot of gigs. Thanks for mentioning the tightness and bigness of the low end. It was definitely one of the goals to come up with a 15" driver that would sound quick and punchy while still keeping some of that 15" bigness we all expect from a 15.

I'd say mission accomplished Roger! Big, tight and even is how I would describe it. Looking forward to more gigs with it. I'm confident this is the single cab solution for me. I even removed the protective film over the logo!
Can't wait to see how it sounds with the big 9 piece band. We're bringing up a new drummer so will be about a month before we play out again.The Reidmar is a cool little amp. Not tiny, which I really like, all the knobs have a smooth feel to them and it's stupid loud. Kind of like GK loudness where it seems louder than it should be. The compressor seems a lot like the one on the Eden WT405, which I liked a lot. Every knob seems to do what you expect it too. Doesn't always seem to work like that with every amp. The dirt I'm still experimenting with.
I think I prefer my GK Fusion 550 with this cab. But the Reidmar is no slouch.
The Fusion 550 is an absolutely great amp, IMO and no surprise it works well with he ML115. Bob did a really amazing job with that amp!
Passing on my Baer ML112 S1
This cab has spoiled me but I need to go bigger. Pm if interested
I mainly used the Reidmar 750 with my ML112 also. Great EQ and nice matchup with the Baer warmth.

The only correct solution to Baer cabs not being loud enough is more Baer cabs.
I didn't think the Valkyrie was still available and that its next introduction would incorporate a 1000 watt Class D power section to reduce weight and retain the heft of the original AB power section. I'm impressed with the Valkyrie preamp design and if the next version retains that note heft and tubey goodness, it's the only thing that would make me flip my Demeter VTBP-M-800D.
Just caught this on Facebook. Don't know about the recording, but I like the tone.
Just posted my cabs in TB classifieds, thought I'd put a link here in case anyone is looking for a super-clean pair of 112s:
For Sale - Baer ML112 speaker cabinets (2)
Looks like a great way to start off the new year and that bass is just so cool! Wishing everyone a New Year filled with plenty of love, laughter and music!
Hello Roger. Thank you. May all good things come your way in the New Year. Now you can count me as a fan of your Baer Amplification work. Thanks for making this fine speaker cabinet:
Today I received my first Baer Amplification cabinet, a clean ML-112 Series 1 with an upgraded crossover à la Series 2, as I was told. Apparently I am the third owner. If I get my way, in my lifetime I will be the last.
Nearing the end of my work day at the apartment, I had just enough time to mostly unpack the ML-112 for thawing out, break down and recycle the packing material, then set up the cabinet to play for a while before my neighbors returned from work. My ears and amp (Kern preamp>send to sfx micro-Thumpinator>return, Glockenklang Blue Rock set flat in 4 ohm mode) were already warmed up. Just before, I was playing through a Greenboy Audio Fearless F112 (clean, clear, very low, neutral yet musical. Quite a thing.)
This ML-112 is a mother. What a feeling and sound. I can see why players rave about Roger's work. It is strong, tough, sweet-sounding. It has a voice, is not neutral, but does not impose its voice. You play with its voice. It is an instrument.
Definitely a supercab, nonetheless this ML-112 evokes the visceral sound/feel of a good "old school" bass cabinet (like my beloved vintage Ampeg V-4B of years ago), but without being boxy, boom-y, or muddy... or heavy. All the good stuff, but none of the bad. And ever so tastefully, it goes lower. Barely figuratively, the ML-112's extra-solid build is an embodiment of its sonic character. What a delight to experience extremely intentional design applied with such skillful craft.
Based on this example, I would say that Roger is not as concerned with spatial presentation as some of the other top designers are. I own and very much like and respect AudioKinesis and MAS cabinets (Hathor 1203 and MAS-112). They sound wide open yet present. Voiced, but with a sound field reminiscent of big studio monitors. With the ML-112, Baer gives you just enough of the sound field, but presence and impact are the main business. Comparatively, Baer is much more about the tangible feeling of playing through the cabinet than the sense or effect of it. At first blush, that's how it seems to me.
As usual, it's not that one approach among peers is inherently better than the others. Rather it's about what is strong and distinctive about it, and how that can be useful to the right player.
Now I am done acquiring bass cabinets for a while ("Sure you are!")
So would I. But it will be an amp or a DI for me. For now I am happy to spread the word, that others may buy new Baer cabinets direct.

Most of the time nowadays I'm in gig situations that necessitate me bringing a single ML-112 and my Carvin B1000, not the Valkyrie, for schlep-related reasons. Even with the one cab and un-special (yet surprisingly good for the price) mini-head I can easily fill any room with meaty goodness. It's a really special cab.
(I still think it'd be rad to have three ML112's to fully stretch the Valkyrie's legs, though...)

Have been curious about the B1000 since they put it in the market. Sounds like a cool portable rig.

This is one of the things I really love about the ML115 over my Genzler Bass arrays. The bass arrays are really great cabs and just fill a room up. I get some of that with my Baer but with more punch in the gut. At least that's my experience. Not Knocking the Genzler cabs at all. A wonderful design. Just different than what I wanted or maybe was more used to.
Gig with the 9 piece band this Friday. GK Fusion 550 and Baer ML115 ready to go. New drummer so should be interesting.
So I almost foolishly sold my ML115. Downsizing, gear guilt thing, I came to my senses, sold almost everything else and bought the amp I have wanted for the past 7 or 8 years. Played through one several times and just loved it. The sticker shock kept me away but I finally moved on it.
So, this is by far, the best sounding, just perfect, amazing rig I've owned, or played. Still have to pass the gig test but wow!!!
