Eden vs Mark Bass vs ?

[Mrmatt1972]

About 8.5 lbs for starters. The CMD102PV can be tilted back into monitor mode and it is front ported.
The 58R probably has the new "HIFI" tweeter. They both have the same 58R 500 watt LittleMark amp. Just two variations on a 2x10 combo. If weight is an issue, I'd go MB58R Pure combo. If you'd benefit from the tilt back option then the CMD102PV is your baby. It has been around for a while and is favored by many.

As a recent purchaser of the MB58R 102 pure pictured above in the thread, I can tell you, you do not need the tilt back. The rear port is pretty “omni” sounding. Very easy to hear yourself.

Good to know. Thanks!

I currently use a D115T with my D210XLT. I have been thinking about getting a D115XLT only because the XLT handles more power. I use a 500w head but never need to push it very hard to get a lot of volume, however I am always nervous because I could overpower the D115T.
The D115T does not (to my ears at least) have the low mid bump and pairs very nicely with the D210XLT.
Since all XLT cabs are voiced in a similar way, I think I'll stick with the D115T.

you're right the D115T does not have the low-mid hump. That was David's first series of Eden branded cabs after he and his team designed, built, and sold the first SWR Goliath cab for SWR. The XLT cabs came after that in response to bass players request for cabs that would show up in the mix better without a lot of twiddling the EQ. Since a little boost in the low-mids adds presence and definition to the bass he specifically designed them with a low-mid hump in the voicing of the XLT cabs. You should sound good with those two cabs because the 210XLT will already be reproducing that low-mid hump for you and it will get same amount of power as your D115T.

The last catalog that the D115T was in was the 1998 catalog. Eden didn't put out another catalog until 2001 and although most of the D-series "T" cabs were offered, the D115T was not in that catalog. So it disappeared somewhere in between catalogs. By comparison the D115T has 200-watts rms power handling while the D115XLT has 400-watts power handling. As long as you don't try to crank it or turn the bass EQ way up, that D115T will "probably" survive just fine presuming your 500-watt head only puts out 250-watts into 8Ω. I would caution you against using distortion effects with it though because it would be very hard to detect when the speaker is being stressed while using distortion. You should be able to cover most indoor venues using the D115T + D210XLT without the need to "crank it".
