Cab suggestions for Mesa Subway D-800+

@Barticus Would you mind sharing how did the comparison go?
Yeah, it was a few years ago. I didn’t post the videos because the testing that I did seemed to rattle everything in the room and I couldn’t get a clean sound that was good enough to publish a video in my opinion. They both sounded great with either amp, but at the time I preferred gigging with my subway D800+.

Ultimately, I preferred the sound of the GR over the BF because it had a tweeter and the clarity was better to my ears over the BF in my opinion.

I get rid of the BF within two weeks of owning it and then sold the GR and replaced with a GR AT212 slim version which was lighter weight. Then I got one of their combos with the One1400 AT212 slim to add to the standalone AT212. I still have the standalone cab in my studio.

I gig with my Subway 800+ DI and go direct now, so no cabs.

Um yeah, but the question was just asked on Feb 5th and I replied on the 6th… so hopefully you weren’t holding your breath from the original post 😂🤔🤷‍♂️

Ultimately, all of the gear in question is just amazing and top shelf anyhow, so you can’t go wrong with any of it! 😃🤓
