Mini Rigs of Doom Four

Love the Minimax; I used it with my Avatar B115 and, for smaller gigs, my SB112
That's cool! How does the closed back midrange that Avatar uses sound?
My new Fearless F112 paired with my MG800. 400 watts of sheer power.

I've been real happy with the sound from the 126. Got some gigs over the next two weeks so I'll be pushing these two pretty good.

You are right about that! It was almost too much for my B115, which is a 4 ohm. By contrast, the lesser powered (some say under-powered, though I don't think so) B2R works best with that cab
I recently picked up a GK MB200 and a Barefaced One10. I can get more volume with my D-800 and MB800 heads but even the ~140W the MB200 puts out is surprisingly loud - and the sound quality is quite good.
It won't bring the doom of a pair of 810's but, with a combined weight of 18 pounds, it doesn't get much more "mini" than this:

Well i have a 4ohm SB126 that I started with and coupled it with a b2r. Got a great sound and loud. Got louder when I started using a peavey Minimax. Then got the 8ohm sb123 and an 8ohm driver to swap into the sb126. Oh man it sounds good all together.
MROD is only MROD if you can carry it two blocks and two flights of stairs without putting it down.

cool combo
Does this qualify?

(Since the picture was taken I unmuted the horn on the active PA speaker and instead cut some high frequencies (on the BEQ700 and PA Eq). I also raised the PA speaker vertically, so I could have room for a Joyo Orange Juice, a Behringer BEQ700 and a Behringer Tube Ultragain Mic 100 on top of the combo beside it. I'll update the picture next time I'll get to our rehearsal space.)

How would you describe the tone of the Barefaced One10 cab?
Been wondering myself... thought about picking one up to pair with my D800.. a few folks say it's a great combo
Now, I am recovering from a surgery and I have a 4 lb lift limit. Surprisingly, my granddaugters are much lighter than that. But, it's hard to walk two flights of stairs carrying nothing.
may you resume regular Doom activities soon.
