"they really produce what you give it with your instrument choice, amp, effects and playing style. "My instrument and tone only louder"

Huzzah! Isn't that ultimately what we're all after?

I guess I could add a few comments.
The BA210-3 design overall offers the low to low-mid punch you'd expect from a 10" based cabinet. Handles the fullness of a B-string with no issues. The Straight version will feel like it has a little more depth in the LF, but both the Straight and Slant versions handle the same frequencies. All of our SLANT cab designs tend to sound a little brighter with more clarity due to the geometry of the cabinet (less perpendicular interior angles than the Straight) and the fact that the baffle slants up to the player at 6% angle.
I've had the chance to compare this cab to other very highly regarded 2 x 10 and 3 x 10 cabs, and at approx 10 feet away the fullness and weight of each note really projects off the stage.
Frankly I don't feel that these cabs have a specific "tone profile" as they really produce what you give it with your instrument choice, amp, effects and playing style. With all the Bass Array designs that is the single most consistent response we seem to hear. "My instrument and tone only louder" would describe it.
I hope this is helpful.

Thanks Jeff!! I'm definitely getting the BA210-3 Straight first.

Nice! I subbed a few (couple?) times this past summer with a Journey Tribute band. Total blast! From learning the material to playing it live.

I've recently stolen your MG800 preamp settings. I add a hpf (fDeck) to the fx loop, too. Cuts the mud.

I have to ask: If I recall, you use IEM's? If so, why the cabs? Just curious. Not trying to be a Negative Nelly.

^^^ When we travel we are always on wedges. Been doing a lot of traveling as of late so the big rig on these big stages/theaters are a must.

Oh, plus it’s cool!!

Ahhhh! Gotcha.

And the Cool Factor (or CF) is totally worth it!!

ugh, looks pretty sick!
Do you notice any issues with even amounts of power going to each cab, despite the obvious difference between the two?
Also, do you run the full line array on both cabs?

I LOVE 6x10s for a single cab, loud stage solution. All Genzler would be pretty, pretty sweet...

With both cabs running at 2.67 ohms it really seems as one 6x10 cab. The power, punch, fullness and clarity is truly amazing. The Arrays really project and disperse those high mids and high end while the 10’s just punch out those low mids and low end. The overall sound of these cabs are the best I ever heard! It certainly filled this room!

Will be interested in the differences you hear in this configuration, over the other stacking option.

When I play on a raised stage I place my SLT 12 on top.

 

[Loring]

need to get that 3rd cab...

played on a raised stage with tight front to back distance and put a genz benz neo 12 under my gentler stuff...

Huge difference and mostly in the highs. I think getting the cab closer to ear level made the difference. I did turn down so it wasn't any louder - mostly did it for visual presence but big dif. sonically (standing - if I was sitting probably not).

The main difference I hear is that it sounded deeper. It had a full bottom end due to the bigger cab on the bottom and it wasn’t directed at the ear. It was still articulate but definitely had a deeper sound. I actually increased the treble on the amp.

I like the full slant setup best. You get what’s going on with these arrays which still blow me away. However, these are options that some may like. Which is always a good thing.

Wonder what two BA210 SLTs or even three of them sounds like?? Hmmmm!

This was popular at the GTG I was at in Minneapolis this weekend.

People were amazed by both the tall 12 and the BA10-2. My rig was the smallest one there - lots of 4x10 and larger rigs. They were loud for sure, but nothing sounded any better than my litle combo. The Bergantino Forte HP with a Bergie 4x10 (one facing rear) and a Bergie 12 on top sounded amazing, but I can get all the stuff I need in the trunk of my Audi.
