There are a bunch of articles and videos online about phase issues and how to avoid them in the recording process. Do some searching and you'll find more detail than you want on the subject :)

As for listening, hi fi systems still can be subject to issues related to phasing. Those systems generally assume a listener seated in an optimized point relative to the speakers.

Most "hifi" stereo systems are specifically engineered for optimal "sound stage" for a listener seated at the apex of an isosceles triangle that varies depending on how far apart the speakers are placed. Every other location in the house is "a cheap seat" :-) If the recording is good/ well-engineered, sitting in the sweet spot sounds better than near it, and far better than far from it.

I've had a one10 for several months now and really enjoy using it as a practice cab with the mesa 800 heads. I specifically bought it for when people ask me to bring my bass over to something that's not an actual band practice.

I'm considering buying another one to have more volume and I'm wondering what other people's experience has been when adding a second.

i'm really only considering this for smaller gigs. I tend to play… Loud. Not all the time but I like to have the option.

i've had lots of experience doubling up on cabinets and using multiples but I'm just wondering how this particular model does when you use two or more.

I considered getting a 210 but part of the mojo for me is the really small really light cabinet where I could carry my entire rig at once and not have to contort going through a door.

Thanks a lot for any feedback

My advice - for what it's worth, but from my experience - and if financially feasible - would be to add a Two10s to the One10 you have.

I know, I know - I hate to be the "just buy [something expensive not on the budget] and it'll sound better than whatever you asked about" guy... so disregard this at your discretion.

But - that said - Ultimate modularity - 1x10, 2x10, or 3x10 (if you have an amp that will do 2.67 ohms like a Mesa D800 and others).

You'll always have exactly the right size cab for any gig and the 3x10 stack beats most 4x10's I have heard - and I like that with 3x10 stacked vertically, it isn't blowing by your feet. Most of the time I don't need to bring more than the Two10.

I haven't done a side-by-side of 2 One10's vs one Two10 but I suspect that one big box will carry a little more bass than 2 smaller ones. Conjecture there.

Finally, a Two10s is switchable from 4 to 12 ohms, so in 12-ohm mode it can pair with the other cab; and in 4 ohm mode you get full use of your amp power, making the 2x10 capable of slightly louder content than an 8-ohm cab.

Great. Now I have a whole new GAS pain I never expected to have!

:spit:

:D :D :D

Actually, I do like that idea a lot. Wish I would have thought of that before I bought my backup cabs (a pair of Hartke HyDrive HD210's). Nice sounding cabs, but not Barefaced! ;)

This is the Two 10 and the Super Twin right?

How does it sound when these blend considering they have different sonic signatures?

I combined my One10 with SuperMidget and the combo sounds killer. I know it's considered "wrong" using these two together but I liked the result.
