Has anyone ever

I have tried the search function. Problem is that alot of the threads are older and may not relate to any newer equipment.

I have a Hartke 410XL on layaway. I know Hartke has guys that love em or hate em. The thing is......I can afford Hartke. Working 32 hours the past year has been killer.

I have not played for 14 years. I'm starting all over again. I was just curious if a 212 or 412 cabinet would sound good paired with a 410 cabinet. At the moment I don't think Hartke makes a 412 cab. I do know that GK makes a 412. Not sure if that would sound good paired together or not?
Down the road when the economy hopefully gets better I was thinking maybe adding that 412 or 212. Unless of course I am way off base? Would a 115 cab be better paired with a 410?

See fellas I'm starting all over again. I have no idea what is good equipment. This is why I came here to ask.

Back in the day I had a Peavey Unity 4 string neck thru with aftermarket EMG pups and played it thru a Ampeg 810 cabinet.
Thats the only sound I knew back then.
