Hello All,

After a whole lot of reading, conversations with other TB peeps, and some emailing with Dave I went the route of getting a pair of B210s.

They're replacing a pair of Ashdown ABM 408 Neos. Which even though I really liked them for a while, I knew in the long run they weren't gonna cut it, and opening them up led to me discovering one giant empty box...no bracing, batting....nada. But that's a whole different story.

Anyway, I had the chance to use these this past weekend at a show as well as in a room doing some quick one take live recordings. I really can't be happier. The cabs sound pretty amazing, and paired with my SVT7, I feel that the possibilities are just about endless in regards to tonal capabilities. IMG_0777.JPGIMG_0778.JPGIMG_0779.JPG

Nice! Congrats.

I stack my Avatars vertically, too. Never thought to ask Dave to mount the logo placards like yours.

i didn't think so either until i saw a few people who had them changed the logo themselves. they even reoriented the input panel which i thought was a nice touch.

it's pretty great. they will let you do just about anything to the cabinets, even down to choosing whatever logo you want which is how i scored the hiwatt looking logo.


i guess it really doesn't hurt to ask.

I also have a pair of those and mostly run them with my PF800. Great setup for an affordable price. I have played other Avatar cabs and I think this is their best cab - in my opinion of course.
Enjoy!

Pretty cool, but something about those badges doesn't work for me. I much prefer the cursive avatar logo personally.

admittedly at first i was very slightly thrown off by the logo only for the size of it. i originally thought it was going to be the same size as the cursive logo.

all in all though, i went with that logo primarily because i thought it looked way better with my ampeg on top (font type, colors etc.). but i've definitely come to love the slightly oversized look of it.

I don't like logos at all and always take them off my cabs - even going to the extra trouble of replacing grills if necessary - IMO of course....
