Mini Stacks Of DOOM

That picture was my PF-20T (20 watts) all tube head on top of two PF-112HLF cabinets. I have since upgraded that setup with a PF-50T (50 watts) all tube head. The cabs are not flip top.
LowWay , i guess you win.that's impressive --- where do you play any of it?
actually that was my version of shopping for new gear during the pandemic. I ordered a ton of stuff to try out from stores with good return policies this summer, and only kept the winners.
The keepers were the bergantino Forté HP, and 4 NXT112s. The other stuff all went back, much to my disappointment. I wanted the PJB stuff to win because of form factor, but nothing beats what I kept for my tastes. After 35+ years of playing, this is simply the best rig I’ve ever used. Jim Bergantino is a genius.
Haha, is that a bottle opener? Good idea but perhaps a precarious location if the beer is fizzy.
Gig report: Did a gig last night with the mb200 and 2 Neo 112's and had no problem being heard. The band is not very loud so I had expected as such. Next week is the real test. It will be outdoors with 3 guitar players and a drummer.
I am going to go against most TBer's and say that I prefer the sound of the horizontal stack versus the vertical stack. To me it seems like the bass is way more pronounced stacked the low way versus the higher way. I guess it's a matter of whether you want to hear it or feel it.
2nd gig report: I did a gig with the same rig. GK MB200 + 2 GK Neo112's. This time was outdoors, 2 electric guitars, 1 acoustic and drums. I did not receive PA support. The rig was able to keep up with band however the amp was set at about 4:00 and I don't think there was much left as far as volume. There is a good amount of growl at that setting so if you want clean at loud volumes I would go for an amp with a bit more power for the headroom. I liked the sound I was getting so I will stay the course. I do have options for extra power and I like the sound of that amp.
the O.G. mini stack - two Bag Ends and a GK
if i still had my 800 i could run three!
A bit of a resurrection but I added a second TC BG250-208 and am running the speaker out into the second combo for a svelt 4x8 tower. It's a perfectly scaled complement to the short-scale Sterling Stingray.
My desk top rig of doom of 150 watts :
Ampeg Micro VR plus Phil Jones Compact C2.
Ampeg Micro VR plus Phil Jones Compact C2.
2 x Schroeder Mini 12+ L cabs, the top one with a tilt-up handle underneath, and a TC Electronic RH450 head.
