I bought a B2 Ampeg head a couple of weeks ago and I'm still a bit confused about what kind of cab I should get... I was really sure I wanted a 4x10 but after reading around and talking to my friends now I'm not so sure about it. I'd like to know whether I can get a nice low-end sound and still get a good punch, like I did with my old Ampeg BA115, with a cab like the B410HE 4X10" or would a single 15" cab do a better job? or anything else you'd like to advice to me; I'd appreciate it a lot! really!

Best of both worlds, a 2x12"?
That said, don't discount all 410 cabs. There are some that will still rattle your teeth with low end.

4x10- punchy, clear, articulate. and depending on which one (my GK RBX 410 does this) some good low end can be pumped out.
2x12- warmer, smoother, the in between
1x15- low end, muddier (some can be pretty clear), not a lot of attack.

Those Dr. Bass cabs look very choice; especially the 1580 mentioned and the 2460. Who carries those?
direct order only. you won't be disappointed though. Check with low down sound too. Why not get the best of both worlds and go with a 15 and a 210? One at home, on at the practice facility and bring both for gigs.
