I’m actually surprised to see them release a standard 4x10 and 2x10, in this day and age, when everyone seems to want smaller, simpler rigs. I don’t see the sense in pairing a Mac mini sized Class D head, designed for the ultimate in light weight, with a 4x10. I wpuld have thought they would release 1x10, 1x12, 2x10, and 2x12 cabs, at most, with drivers designed for small enclosures and wide frequency response (read: low efficiency), taking advantage of the M900’s high power output.

Darkglass Just Unveiled Speaker Cabs!

Someone on the Facebook page said the 210 is 55 pounds. I’m curious about the pricing on the 500w head. Think it’s about $1000
I sure hope it's a good bit cheaper than that, as the M900 costs about that much...
You're right, the 900 is a grand on Sweetwater. I converted from Euros on a post from the FB page. This is what happens when I try to think before I have coffee and cold medicine.
But the clean tone is ssssooooooo nice. I play in a reggae/roots band and it gets FAT.
It also meant I could sell my B3K and free up some pedalboard real estate.
Win win.
I'm actually not that surprised. If the cabinet is designed well and has good low and high frequency response, 2x10 should be enough for small gig/practise places and 4x10 for a little bigger. I dont see the point stacking 2 or 3 small cabs(1x10 or 1x12) on top of each other. Only thing I'm suprised about is the weight.
I'm going with it's a typo on the weight. I own an EA VL-210 that is 76 lbs and it is ridiculously heavy for a 2-10. (That being said, it does sound great....in my jam room.....where it stays.
I would say the weight is correct, pretty sure it’s ceramic drivers, as they want their own specific voices circuit with crossovers etc set for distortion, they are proprietary made for them.
Basically, if that’s the sound you want, that’s what it weighs and costs, nothing wrong with that, just won’t be for some people

I just hope for the company's sake, they have their distribution problems worked out. My first venture into the DG world has been a long wait.
84lbs for a 210, really. A little heavy for me thanks.
Mine as well. Just got the A/O today after a long wait, and the day they came in, they sold out again.
Well I’m pretty stoked for these cabs. The 410 specifically. Yes they are expensive. More than I would normally spend. But if you look at all the specs and the customization that has gone into these cabs, I would have to say it’s worth it. That being said I STILL may not be able to afford one!! Haha But I’m gonna try. The fact that the crossover and tweeter were designed with bassists who use a lot of dirt in mind says a lot to me. The weight kinda sucks but I can get onboard with that if they sound right. I’m stoked in the sensitivity and power handling specs too. It sure sounds like a winner to me! Now I just gotta go sell a spleen or something 
My A/O has been on order from ZZounds since 7/26. I got an email yesterday (I think, maybe Monday) that Sweetwater had them in stock but is showing them today as a 'preorder only' again.
