Not sure if it was Hartke but about 5or 6 years ago I seen a small enclosure sitting on top of a full stack it was about 4 or 5 speakers maybe 3 inches in diameter in and enclosure. I asked the guy who had it and he said it added some highs to his sound. I have looked everywhere online and cant find this little contraption. Not for sure if it was Hartke but does anyone know about this and maybe a model number?

Hartke? I think,

It's a Trace Elliot 4052h "Bright Box." I've got one. My main rig is a Trace Elliot AH500X dual mono head driving the low end of my sound a Trace 1548 2x15 and a Trace 1048 4x10.
I use my Trace 4052h for the high end, and drive it separately with a Trace AH200 head so I can adjust the tone and volume of my high end independently of the low end.
Works great.
Trace made a similar cab with a single horn in it that is like a bright Box, except the Bright Box has 4 5" speakers and no horn.

I'd love to get my hands on one of those 2.5XL (discontinued) cabs in good condition!
Sorry to wake this zombie thread, but there's one for sale here

Only a little over a year old - I don't think it has reached zombie status yet.
A local indie shop had two if these for sale - he sold them, but wanted too much for them IMO. Had I needed them they may have worked well with a GK 800rb (I like running the 100w section full-range into a separate cab). I have different plans now.
On the subject of Hartke cabs, there is a 215 for sale local to me, and I see 4.5 XL's pop up occasionally. I play through 4.0 XL's at my church. I like them, but don't like the fact that re-cone kits are not available for them. That essentially negates the desire for personal ownership, but they are good cabs IMO.
