Does anyone here on TB have any experience with this combo? I've searched the forums but came up empty. I'm very interested in it and like several of it's features such as the built in compressor, the character switch, the sweepable mid control, the ability to add an external cab but.....it is quite expensive compared to the Ampeg RB-210, or the Fender Rumble's 500 and 800. Is it worth the substantially higher price? Are the parts somehow more premium? What makes it worth so much more? I'm really looking for some answers as all I can hear of it is via YT videos (where it does sound pretty good). If it's totally worth the price premium I don't mind spending top dollar but I like the Ampeg RB-210 as well which is right at $526.00 less including taxes and any shipping that may be involved. If you have any first hand experience with the EBS please share your thoughts with me/us. I would really appreciate it and Thank You in advance.
 
it's a Reidmar head with a NeoLine 210 cab in one box, you might find better luck finding information knowing this.

EBS Neo cabs have always been pricey, but they're good. is it worth it for you over the cheaper ceramic RB210 with a piezo? it's up to you. EBS cabs really excel at reproducing big, glassy high end, some folks love them.

I currently have a Reidmar, but with a 112 Neo and I didn't play the 210s you mentioned, so not sure if I can help you further. if you dig the sound -- go for it, a Fender or an Ampeg combo won't sound the same.
