Man the 109 with addition of the crossfiring vortex mids has the potential to be incredible.

Does the woofer look like one of the custom 10's to you? On closer inspection (my eyes were not totally awake this morning), the frame looks similar to the 10" in my Flex. On the subject of 'fantasy cabs', my initial perception this morning may have been guided by the idea of a cab with the visceral punch of the 112 with the mids of a Flex... :cool:

There was a recent comment about Mike making powered cabs - they'll be out of my price range for sure but I want to get GK's new Plex in the future so my gears started turning. I try not to stay too current on posts here to keep GAS at bay, but a Mesa 400+ atop a 210 Flex (or @JBNeedsBeer's MAS 115) is still the dream rig...

@Razman or anyone else for the matter, if you are in the NJ area and want to give the 115 a whirl, I typically keep it up in Jersey City. It is something awesome to behold. I'm not sure how I would like a 400+ with it, but it has brought out the best in every amp I've thrown at it.

When I asked on the Big E forum about a MAS 215, Mike said that I'd be able to disarm North Korea with a Mesa 400 atop. A 400+ and the 115 should be able to change the direction of hurricanes (like Matthew) and be heard (or felt) down here, so I'd know it if you did.

No plans to get up that way now but if/when I do I'll let you know!

Oh, the 400+ has enough power to seriously light the 115 up and move some very real amounts of air. A Crest Pro Lite 2.0 bridged gives an astonishing amount of air flow. The 400+ just has this sponginess and I really love how the cab works with ample solid state power.

I've been negligent in posting again. I dropped off one of Mike's basses last week and got to hear the new MAS110. It is the 110 sub with the custom 10 and two faital 4's in a mwv enclosure on top with a compression driver firing in the vortex. I have an MAS 109 and compared to this with the smaller enclosure the low end has more punch in the 110. There is no comparison in the mids. The new cab not only has mids that seem as strong or stronger than the flex, but the dispersion is insane. With the other MAS cabs you can hear up to about 1500hz. standing next to or on top of the cabs, this thing sounds crisp and clear behind the cab. Standing right in front of the cab or to the side the fidelity is amazing. Anyone want an MAS 109?
