NAD! I may have gone overboard

That's not overboard. It's the bare minimum. You really need two stacks like that.
GK still makes a neo 210 now called the CX 210 and the logo emblem is rotated 90 degrees .... don't know why.
I have two of the prior model 210's with the MB800 and it is awesome ! I've played indoors and outdoors with two or
three loud guitar players ( I was not through the FOH ) no problem whatsoever ... and light ... those 210's are 33lbs each.
the 210's stack vertically and is much easier to hear then a 410 down at your knees.
I've been curious about the 2-12 sound though.
Thanks for the info, WillieB. I haven't checked out GK's line-up recently as I don't have cabinet GAS anymore. I was wantin' one of those Fearfuls but the closest maker packed it in

I love my fearful (15/6) its my other rig of choice besides the gk 2 x 210.
I have seen several nicely built fearfuls go up for sale here on TB and at pretty good
prices too.
Sorry for the derail but I checked GKs site and they are indicating the CX are ceramic speakers but the weights for the cabs are neodymium-like. New proprietary lightweight ceramics?
It's the lightweight braced 1/2" poplar plywood that saves the weight.
Im jealous, I just got a GK MB 500 that I can do nothing with but use as a headphone amp until another amp of mine sells so I can afford to buy a cab!
How do you like the mids? I tried a 700rb and 550fusion through one of those 212s and it felt a little too mid forward for me even with the mids rolled off. Killer stack dude my 410-115s probably wouldn't keep up!!!

Flossin'? I thought your name was Munson!
I haven't cranked it up yet. In-laws are in town. They leave tomorrow, so I'll get it going good and loud tomorrow and let you know.

You think 70+lbs is bad? Girly man! I've got a Mesa 410, try 96lbs!
Of course, I don't use it because I'd cry if I had to lift that ridiculous cab, I'm so glad that GK has embraced Neo tech.
Seriously, that Mesa 410 is just insane! I'd take it to my drummers place and just use it for practice, but I'd still hafta lift it into my car AND carry it down into his basement! THAT is not going to happen...so it will sit in my garage until I figure out what I'ma do with it...
NEO 212s FTW!!
Overboard??
THIS is overboard... (but it's also over 30 years in..)
...and I'm not even in a band!!
Looks like a nice rig. You made a good choice. You might need that extra cab for a gig someday.
It's not overboard by any means.

You won't need the second bottom all that often, but when you do, you'll be thankful for a matched brace.I got a GK MB800 and two Neo 212 cabs. With my rack on top, it's huge! I'm thinking one cab is plenty, but I'll have to roll out the second now and then.
