Actually, not that bad, considering they only weight a few ounces. One just has to get used to them. It's the $4K that really hurts!
EDIT: But it's either that or live in silence...

The 210 cab is sonically identical to the Rumble 500 combo. It uses exactly the same drivers, so with the Rumble 500 head the sound will be indistinguishable from that of the combo.
The 40 has a plywood cabinet, and the 25 has an MDF one. Hence the weight difference.
If the Rumbles weren't so dependable, I might be able to find a blown Rumble 500 or 200 combo and make an extension cabinet. Just pull out all the electronics, plug any holes, and put in a 1/4 inch jack. Lightweight and it would match my 200. If the Rumbles weren't so dependable, that is.
But they are!!

Not mine, but this is exactly what mine looks like

It still has both the stickers -- I take good care of it.

I see what you did there!
First thing I did was get rid of those terrible knobs, lol.Not mine, but this is exactly what mine looks like

Feedback and fallouts are either user or installers problems. The rest is anyone's guess. We should just have patience with the elderly. Most of us will be there, someday

Of course. I'm just noting the troubles some of them have with hearing aids.
I understand completely. Many of those troubles are due to the elderly getting used to silence and not adapting to suddenly hearing well. It is not a problem with the hearing aids. It is a problem with change.
The sooner a hearing compromised person gets hearing aids, the sooner they will adapt and appreciate that, in the real world, silence is not golden, it is just a very lonely place.
Why is everyone hatin’ on the cheese wheel knobs?
On my Rumble, they started exuding stickiness. Not good when you're at a gig, about to play.
Seems that many are complaining about the sticky feeling that develops over time. I don't know what causes that. I have never experienced it.
I have read somewhere -- maybe here on TB, but I think somewhere else -- that certain types of plastic, including the stuff used for these knobs, can exude some element over time that is sticky. I think it's just a matter of time and exposure.
That is an unfortunate side effect of «rubberized» plastic which can happen over time. I’ve had it happen to one or two knobs, but it’s easy enough to get rid of with a scotchbrite pad.
Mine were sticky out of the box, so replaced em.
Never had a problem with rumble knobs, no stickiness, nothing.
I really like them, easy to see/dial in.
