I have no doubt the amp will push the low impedance stuff (it currently is).
Since I'm looking for a better set of cans - figured I'd look for optimal impedance that's all.

Hello gents, About the headphone output. It will drive a wide range of phones, from an impedance of 16 - 600 ohms. The lower the impedance the more efficient the signal to the cans, so please be aware when starting to listen---protect the ear drums! If you use cans with a much higher impedance around 400- 600 ohms you'll need to probably drive the Master volume higher to get a good level. This will reduce headroom a little but any headphones used within this range should work just fine.
Hope this helps.
And Yes, if you want to do some private, quiet practicing, you'll need to unplug the speaker output at the amplifier. In any high powered amplifier design you will probably not find the switching jacks in the headphone output that disconnects the speakers when phones are connected.
Thanks @Jeff Genzler! I tried the headphones, worked pretty well, I did have to turn the gain about halfway up for enough output for the headphones.
I've got a little MG350 coming to me in a swap. If both parties are happy with the swap, the 350 will stay.
It'll get a small workout this weekend at church. If the swap works out, the plan is for the 350 to live at church with my 10-2. I do like how the MG800 sounds with the 10-2. I'm ASSuming the 350 will sound the same with just a little less volume on tap. Which is no biggie to me at the church gig. I don't play that loud and let the FOH do all the work.

Well I've had my new Genzler rig for over a couple weeks now (I wanted to take some time to really get a good feel for the new gear before giving my opinion) and I can say its definitely the sound I've been looking for lately. Big, fat, clear, punchy. I have the Array 112-3, the Genzler 112T, and the Magellan 800. I've run them separate and together and love all three combos. I never run mixed cabs, but these just work really well.
The 112T has a nice gut punch in the low mids and a really nice tonal profile that I think both cuts in the mix when the highs are dialed in, and sits in the mix with a nice supportive tone when run flat. The array is more smooth, takes eq very well and can be a lot of different things, and has a big low end that takes a lot of bass eq if you want it.
Here's a quick demo video I did, by no means polished production, but wanted to throw something together quick while I had some time between new baby stuff.... The audio doesn't clip, but when I push the lows, the sound pressure becomes too much for the mics (I ran the cabs at "gig volume" to give an accurate representation of tone.)

Nice demonstration if these 2 wonderful cabinets. I find the Arrays to be very smooth but can't speak of the 112t's. The Arrays are the best cabs I've played through and I sem to like the 210 arrays even better.

- I play it all. Whatever works for the gig. Q+
The 210 array looks nice too... . Im digging my 212t...
That 212t is the one cabinet I want to try. I know it has to be unreal what it would put out. I'm very happy with my 38 pound a piece 210's though and couldn't imagine needing more.
Quick update: I'm now the owner of a MG800 and 350!
That little 350 is pretty frickin' loud.

That gives me GAS...
I'd love to have a little 350 combo to leave at church and use my 800/BA12-3 for other gigs... or maybe leave the 800/BA12-3 at church and use the 350 combo for practice at home... or maybe I should get two more amps - one for church, one for home practicing, and one for gigs... and then two more BA12-3's for those really big gigs or when I want to instigate the apocalypse

Love this thought process!

I've also thought about getting 2 more 12-3 BA's and another 800 to use as a slave when needed...

Sounds logical to me!
I want to get the 350 as well, with 2 of the BA10-2 cabs. I think it'd make a killer indoor/small stage rig.
On another note, it sounds like my local shop listened to me a little bit---the owner texted me today and said he had spoken to Jeff, and is looking at becoming a dealer in the near future!
That's sounds like it has the potential to be trouble!
I might be interested myself but just in case someone needs this more than I do...

Crazy price!

Crazy price!
As much as I love a good deal - I hate to see such heavy discounts on current products. Overall it hurts the brand. We start waiting for crazy deals and the product tends to sell slowly at full price as a result. Retailer makes less money and the brand becomes less attractive to carry.
Having said that I did get a good deal on my Magellan so I'm a little hypocritical...

Well that one is coming new from a retailer so I assume Genzler made his money on it...
I have no doubt - used to be in product marketing for consumer electronics. The problem that can happen is the retailer doesn't make enough and starts pushing brands that sell faster or have better margins.
We need a healthy stock turnover so Jeff can keep selling in the reorders.
I don't think a 40% reduction is necessary to get us excited enough to buy.
Again I love a good deal. I also would like to see resale value stay up too...
