Bergantino HD vs Mesa Powerhouse

I have been using PH cabinets for over 10 years. I really like them for what I do. I use 410 2x. The 410 is a beast among 4x10s. Louder, bigger sounding, also voiced with that punch and clear edge (also- weighs more, has deeper dimensions, probably costs more, etc than other cabs). The PH 112 is a phenomenal cab too, worth mentioning. I owned the PH 210 and didn't like it.

The Bergs you have are also a top of the line cabs. You should be able to dial in a good sound. ;)
I wanted a pair of pH 112's but they discontinued them!
Now I'm looking at barefaced bass for a 2x12 or a pair of singles.

The PH-112's have been more or less replaced by the Subway 112's but at a lower weight and an updated tone profile/voicing (somewhat based on comments from this forum), higher power handling and greater overall sensitivity.

I've played through a subway 12 and 15 and they are very good sounding cabs. I like that the 12 and 15 are in the same sized box for stacking. Actually, that would make a pretty nice little rig with a subway 12 stacked on a 15.
 
Sorry, let me specify, they are in boxes with the same width and depth for stacking.
...and you were absolutely correct in your previous post where you mentioned that they would make a very nice little rig. They are in fact quite outstanding when paired up as many users will attest. While mismatching cabs can sometimes be a crap-shoot, the Subway cabs were specifically designed to be used in any combination.
