I tried REAL hard to like that cab as I think it's an amazing looking beast, but, I just could'nt get a sound "I" liked out of it?
It seemed muffled compared to the GS412 and it was significantly noticeable, when, on a gig, I ran them BOTH togetherit was like the 810 was under a blanket when sitting next to the 412?
Maybe something to do with the GS front porting vs. the DB rear porting as to how it "speaks" but, I just couldn't get into it.
It's possible you ran into some phase cancellations between the front and rear ported cabs. That would be my guess, FWIW.
The Marcus Miller is long gone.
Talk about a heavy bass!
I have a Squire 70's VM that cops the MM vibe very well...
my db 210 should be there when I get home today in about an hour!!! 
Can't wait to try it. Got a good deal from a TB'er.
Will report back with pics and impressions soon.

Yes, you maybe right there?
I had plenty of time to disconnect and re-connect them, ran one at a time for several songs and changed to the other and both together etc...
Maybe it was more the front vs. rear porting? not sure? and of course that I really did prefer one cab over the other.
Where does an 800lb gorilla sleep? At the moment, right here:
I dig the sound of the Acme and could probably use it with the db750 for the majority of the gigs I play, but this thread is definitely making me question my Acme and Bergantino faith. When I got this head I thought that an NV610 would be a good match but I get the impression that a pair of db112 cabs would maybe be a close second (and easier to get up and down flights of stairs). Anyone have a comment on that?

I will be rejoining this group soon with proper pics. I've sold my immaculate DB212s (x2 8 ohms) and downsized. I thought it was a waste having two really nice cabs that were not getting used. They sounded fantastic though!
I have stayed with 12s though. Changed colour

Anyone here visited the Aguilar shop? I am heading down to New York next week, and thought it might be nice to drop by and try some of the cabinet pairings myself. That is, presuming it were an environment conducive to doing so. Is it?
Well, they're based there, right? My old instructor purchased his gear from their office/shop/HQ, and I figured that might entail that they had some public front.
You can come by and visit the shop. We have some gear sitting around which you are welcome to try out. We don't sell direct; but we'll be glad to point you to a dealer. Your instructor may have been a friend or endorser.
At any rate, anyone who wants to visit, just hit me via email first, and we can arrange it. We're in the Soho neighborhood in New York City. Downtown Manhattan.

Hey Aguilar homies! I have a little feature on the Aguilar website right now. It has Tone Hammer sound clips from my record w/ my band Neon Trees. I'm out on the road using a DB412 and DB751, and have really been able to turn it up and give it a good run. I love it!
Very cool Brandon. You got some of the sick distorted tones on those tracks.
I actually saw a video from you guys a few days ago, great stuff, and some nice shots of your Aggie setup as well.
Best of luck to you and the band!

Looking forwards to checking out the tracks Brandon!
My home laptop has decided to move on to Microchip heaven though, so it's on my to do list once I have a new one!
All the best for the future with your band!
