Here's a cool link because you can see so many together. That Berg looks nice but it ain't cheap!

You beat me by one second...

 

Keep in mind with a high-end cab, you will RARELY need two of them, if ever.

 

Bergantino CN212, although I've been so impressed by the Changeling 112T that I suspect one of Duke's 212 cabs would be outstanding as well.

 

I am intrigued by this 440 Live cab..

Probably not the exact answer you are looking for, but I am 6'5" and play in some pretty loud bands & situations. My Barefaced Super Twin is all I ever need. 4 ohms, though, so unless you get a 2 ohm-friendly amp or run them in series a pair won't work.

 

GK NEO 212, I am 6'2'' and have no trouble hearing it.

 

Genzler mg212t without a doubt in my mind .I picked one up a few months ago to replace my 4x12, and I couldn't be happier .so much punch and low end, and I can one-hand it to any gig .

 

At 6'4" I use one vertical 4ohm 2x12 sporting EV Pros powered by a GK1001 rbII. It's loud enough to leave bruises. No problem hearing or feeling it.

Audiokinesis Hathor 212 baby! Weighs around 43 pounds and delivers the goods!

I've never owned a 212 so I can't say. Heard nothing but good things about all things from Barefaced cabs.

I would like to try a Baer 212 based on my experience with the single 112. Two of them in tandem is quite a treat.

 

I was going to mention that cab, but thought it wasn't "vertical enough". However, I agree with you in terms of having no trouble hearing myself when one of those is behind me!

 

Gigged my CN212 for the first time this weekend and was thoroughly impressed.

 

It's a good format, and there are several people making good cabs in this format.

The vertical orientation will help prevent comb filtering and improve vertical dispersion -- which makes it easier to hear the cab wherever you stand in the room.

I was all set to build a Bill Fitzmaurice Simplexx 212 when I found an LDS cab on the classified ads here for essentially the cost of parts.

I used to gig with a pair of 410 cabs -- and I've been entirely satisfied with the SOUND of this cab.

The fact that it weighs 60% of what ONE of my 410 cabs weitghed is a big bonus, but not the reason for my purchase.

FWIW this cab is loaded with Eminence Kappalite 3012HO drivers and an 18Sound horn.
I though I'd hear a hole in the mids and want to modify it into a 3-way cab, but I don't...
