No, but for many years I have been purchasing my bass amplification gear in matching pairs.
The stage is set. Time for a pizza before showtime.
Just waited for someone to mention RammsteinI doubt Rammstein would go near it.
You did it! You fit it all on the stage! (Except for the mic stand but close enough :>)
It’s a little cramped
. Our first guitarist, and singer, could fit everything on the stage, I had to put my micstand in front of it, but will stand on the stage. Our second guitarist will have to stand on the floor during the show
That's where guitarist belong don't you agree! Out of sight out of mind! You have to be center stage wit dat bootiful T-Bird!

Friday jam. Ended up with those settings on chained 2*r100. vintage+bright on. Hard hitting drummers and loud guitars too

You're cranked up pretty good. Bald strat guy's pants legs must been flapping in the Rumble breeze.

Yo, dORSY! Whatcha got in the ports of that top Rumble 100 that's reflecting the light to the camera?
.
foam it is to seal the ports

I now see from your previous post that you have stuffed and sealed your ports!
How did you like that?
Goal was to reduce boom at home/low volumes.
Stuffing may be helpful, but could not properly A/B before/after. The change is slight tough.
Port plugging for the same reason, less things are rattling in the room, bass feels a bit tighter with it.
Isolation pads, stuffing or HPF...isn't it great to have so many choices?
Hmmm ... Did you do any software modeling to predict the results of the port plugging? Actually, that would be hard to do since the parameters of the OEM speakers are not publushed. But, I doubt that port plugging would be an improvement in a ported design. Whereas we have many field reports that a bit of internal lining (not so much fill) does "tighten up" a boomy R100 or R40.
The venerable "elderly equine" cautions against port plugging in another situation here.

Hey fellow Rumblers. Advice, plz. Considering an additional Rumble. I am currently using an R200c. What I'm considering is an R25 (1x8) or R40 (1x10) for my EUB. The use would be for an otherwise strictly acoustic band (Bluegrass). Looking for something smaller for 2 reasons: 1. all acoustic so volume not really an issue, (and not wanting to intimidate the others with the R200c), and 2. since all that wattage is not necessary, something easier to transport.
My question is primarily a sound quality one, ie., 8" vs 10". I don't want my EUB to sound small and farty. Will the R25 do it or should I have an R40?
Thanks.
Tim

Tim-iii!!! I have no doubt whatsoever that the Rumble 25 could do it for you. At the same time, I have no doubt that the Rumble 40 could quite possibly do it even more satisfactorily for you. Both could benefit from some internal acoustic lining material to improve the cab's tone, since neither come with any.
A. The 10" speaker over the 8" may be a significant improvement in tone to some users ears. The combination of bigger speaker and more power often tends toward better tone, in general. Search your feelings on this, balanced with the $100 price difference, if you can't actually try them both out. 
2. The controls are some the biggest differences in the Rumbles 15, 25 & 40. The 40 has the full control set of the bigger Rumbles. The 25 has many fewer controls. The 15 has fewest.
iii. The 40 weighs 3 lb.s less than the 25, despite being a bit bigger overall! It's true. And, I wouldn't think the slightly larger box would make any significant difference in the perceptions* of your Bluegrass friends.

The difference may not be as big as it could be from this comparison. But, then again, maybe it could be. You never can tell 'til you try.
*I love playing with a large Bluegrass/Country jam group. They have no problems with my electric bass guitar and Rumble Studio 40. One of the multiple-time state fiddle champs there has invited me to play more with him if I would get an EUB, 'cause the contests don't allow any amplifiers (period). I just dunno if I wanna make that commitment at this stage of my life.

Pics from yesterdays gig. Rumble 500 c stuffed into the corner, soundguy wanted everything through tha PA, so volume was ”just and just on”, with normal settings (b=10, lm and hm=2, h=11) and no knobs pressed. Could have taken my R100c if I had known..
Overall FOH sound was said to be excellent, so the soundguy knew what he was doing.
The bar was full and everybody had a good time.
Felt good to finally play out again

Just used my ears as judgement. On those faitly low volumes we usually play, it seems to help, but picking a couple mms forwards/back on a string can make more difference. It is just feels more "forgiving". Also EQ-ing properly is a must.
Guess stopping standing waves inside a cab is generally a good idea.
Stuffing usually makes cabs "seem" bigger as air needs to travel longer before decaying/getting out.
At those relatively low volumes we play, I dont't think it could damage anything. Idea was that the ports usually allow cabs to make low end air pressure more easilly, mids/highs should? project from the cone face anyways. But theese are not scientific experiments from me, just observations.
Also, it feels like turning master past 1 or 2 does not make a ton more sound pressure, but gives more sustain, sound is more compressed and there are more overtones.
