    Much like the title states, for the genzler owners. I would like to know what you all think would pair well with this cab? With the 800 watt head I can get by most shows being loud as hell. Love that cab. But eventually I do want to add a second cab or trade in for a 2x12 or something. I play jam band stuff. So phish, dead, umph, moe, pigeons. Stuff like that. Pretty much a wide spread of generas we cover, I just loved the “Hi fi as I put it” sound of the genzler. So much clarity and punch! Thanks peeps!

    The best pairing would be another identical cabinet provided the 800 watt head you have can run both cabinets. Genzler cabinets are unique and it would be a bad move to pair it with anything else. You can always try, but if it were me, I would not waste my time or money. You can always contact Genzler and get better information about it.

    I have the 800 watt genzler head. So it should be able to run multiple cabs. I’m just wondering which would be best as far as thumping tight low end. Warm clarity and just punchy overall

    yeah... an additional Bass Array... and they all play well together so whichever one floats your boat.

    Another bass array is by far the best match.

    I have a 112SLT and a magella 800 and love it, and am wondering if anyone has done an inperson comparison pairing a 112 array with a 110 array, a 210 array, and/or another 112array. Genzler suggests using the same cabinets when pairing but I also heard he has showed up at Namm with a 210 array paired with a 112array. So... looking for inout from those who have tried it as I live in the boonies and am unlikely to try without buying. PhishPhan, did you end up making a decision or discover anything new on this topic? Thanks All.

    Many are mixing, matching and generally having a great time with their cabs in the TB Genzler Club Thread.

    Hey man sorry just seen this as im now looking again. I have not yet purchased a new cab, but Im about to make my move. I just don’t know which would be best. I’ve learned what I’m chasing and that’s just making the higher strings an notes cut through mix better.. and just room filling. Dotn get me wrong the 15” I have is sssooo loud and amazing but I just bet adding a second cab just adds more fullness and just character. I don’t want the second cab really for loudness. This single 15 gets plenty loud but I do want that more filling tone I think you only get with two cabs. Maybe It’s just me gassing for a second cab, anyone speak to starting off with one cab how adding the second made a diff?

    Adding a second cabinet improves the low frequency extension considerably.
