What are the differences between the II and III models?

- The dimensions of the enclosures have changed a little bit
- New logo (same as the guitar cabs)
- New cooling system

They say it's more a evolution (improvments) thant a revolution.

Since september I think if you order a BB2 or a BT2 they will send you an email to propose you to choose the BB3 or the BT3 instead, and they will tell you all the differencies in detail.

Ime the tens are basically plug and play whereas the twelves usually get a little bit of tweaking to suit the amp and room. I am a bit of a BF glutton with one 10, two 10, four 10, super midget and big baby 2. Like you I have no plans to get rid of the twelves. Super midget gets the most use for home practice and rehearsals, One 10 gets least use as the sm is not much bigger and does more.

You raise an interesting point about the One10 vs. Super Midget. Hadn't thought of that before.

But I do love the One10. And it raises eyebrows when people hear it, which adds to the fun factor. :D

Interestingly, when I went from One10 to SM, the one thing that suffered for me was home practice. The one10 is hands down the best cabinet for playing at home I've ever had the joy of experiencing.
The SM is a kind of Swiss Army Knife. It's tiny, it's light and it takes on any task that you run into.
The one10, in comparison, lacks volume and bass when you turn up the volume to ... well, loud.
However, the one10 can sound huge at low volume, where the SC feels like it does not enjoy playing silently and wakes up at a certain threshold - which is already past rental appartement volume.

Anyone have the opportunity to pair EBS Reidmar or Aguilar TH with SC or ST ? Im wondering how either option might behave. What characteristics could i expect?

He is using a Reidmar and SC for many of his videos. I found this while searching for SC audio samples. Barefaced should pay him a commission on units sold. I also bought and am awaiting delivery of an SC thanks to him.

I use a TH500 and AG700 with a Super Compact. I'd expect a great bass sound from the EBS. IME these cabs just work with any amp.

I use the TH500 and SC with my P bass. It's a Stax/Motown tone monster. I use the AG700 and SC with my active Jazz. While the SC doesn't have a tweeter I can get a great modern tone. I also add a Super Midget, with tweeter, for extra top end and for loud gigs.

My take on all the 12 cabs is that they're uncoloured, in other words they will reproduce whatever you put into them, whether clean or coloured with preamp or speaker sim or whatever takes your fancy.

This has proven to be true in my experience. I loved my Eden XLT/XST stack, but realized that what I'm hearing is not what the audience is hearing through FOH. I feel more confident that the sound I'm dialing in through my bass EQ is closer to what they will hear.

Out of curiosity just tried the one 10 side by side with the super midget in my lounge at home practice levels. The super midget is still my preference even at low levels, played with a mesa 800+ or berg forte hp. Obviously a question of personal taste on that one. However, if I had to choose only one between my bb2/sm stack and my six 10 stack for loud gigs the tens would win. Guess we are lucky to be so spoiled for choice.

For those that purchased from the U.S. - did you pay with in british pounds through PayPal, and specifically PayPal Credit? If so did it give you the 6 month 0% interest option? I like to spread pricey gear purchases like this out assuming there's no interest.

I purchased with my regular credit card in US dollars.
Maybe your question should just be directed towards people who used PayPal?
