    I'm looking at buying a 4ohm cab from Avatar. I'm thinking about getting the SB123 (12 inch speaker with a 6 inch midrange driver and a horn) or the SB210 (2x10 cab with a horn). Both cost the same, but I was wondering which one would sound the best with my amps (TC Electronic BH250 and a Markbass Little Marcus 250)? Thanks

    Well in a standalone 4 ohm cab I would do 2x12. The cabs you mentioned I would prefer in 8 ohm. For me, the best standalone 4 ohm cab would be a 2x12

    Yeah I don't need a 2x12. We play on tight stages and have a great PA system with monitors.

    So you don't need a cab at all then?

    I use mine for more of a stage monitor to hear myself. I don't use a PA monitor, but the rest of the band does so I can hear everybody perfectly.

    Whatever you get, put it up on a stand or even better buy a tilt back cab and put it in front of you like a stage monitor.
    Revsound has a nice ones in their product line. I think their 1x10 would be fine for your intended purposes. Give Dave a call, he'll be happy to speak with you.

    I may have to look into that. I've had bigger cabs in the past, but that usually creates a volume war on stage. I should have really downsized sooner.

    If the cab is facing you, there's no sound interference with the PA too!

    I’ve got a couple of Avatar 8 ohm 123 cabinets i use with a Carvin BX500 and i like it a lot. I can use one speaker for a lot of what i do and when i need more i just run both.

    I would get the 4 ohm version due to me only wanting to pack one lol.

    One by itself is pretty stout.

    One more question, what aspects are you specifically looking to improve over your BBC 1212? There is no wrong answer - even aesthetics is a valid option, so be honest! ;)

    In many ways, it seems to me like these Avatar cabs would be a lateral move, so just wanting to make sure we have all the info - sorry if I missed this in another thread!

    Ceramics with both. I have never been a fan of neo speakers.

    Yes aesthetics and I'm not a huge fan of neo speakers. I just don't care for the tone. I feel like the ceramic speakers sound fuller IMO.

    Room to expand and grow.
