Official Barefaced Bass Cab Club

Testing has begun!
Super Twin versus Three10
Initial thoughts: for my tonal goals, they're both excellent options, just need to somehow choose a winner..
If I had more space, I'd probably keep them both. It's difficult to capture the black & tan grill cloth in photos, almost looks grey. These pics taken on my aging phone simply don't do them justice.

These cabs are incredibly beautiful. I'm jealous, because I like beautiful gear, I've got 2 Barefaced cabs with custom finish that I love, but this pair of cabs with the black & tan cloth, I don't know what to say… Except that you're not allowed to separate siblings.

Those look so good, I was really tempted to go for that look on mine but the bank said no :)
 
Listen at a distance, and listen in a mix with drums and voice. Give a go stuffing/sealing the Three10's port to see the difference that makes. :)
Thank you for the suggestions! That will be very helpful in making a decision.

Thanks! They came out better than I had hoped.

Thanks! Rebuilding my rig after saving for about two years.

Apologies if this question has been asked and answered previously, but im still saving up for a 210st 8ohm so budgeting is a concern. How much did Import Duties, VAT tax, etc add to the base price of any cab that anyone has ordered?..I find conflicting information on the interweb since Brexit..
For two cabs (Super Twin & Three10)
The import duty was $48.67. DHL sent me an invoice a day before delivery.
Your results may vary

Too nice to choose. Stack them and keep them both. Space problem solved.

Also, what is the base you have them sitting on? Granite with speaker isolation spikes maybe?

I thought about that, but after choosing which one I'll be keeping, the plan is to get the corresponding Super 3rd, or Extra10 for modularity options.
Still need more data, but as of right now, my ears are slightly favoring the Super Twin, while my eyes are slightly favoring the Three10, ha!
The base is a Gramma pad v2.

I've been A/B'ing a Barefaced Two10ST cab with a Genzler BA, though not with the intent of passing on either :D

This also is a vintage voiced 10 vs more modern voiced 12 comparison. I'm finding that through the BF 10s I can back off the compression and OD and boost the high mids from where I'm set for the BA cab. Each cabinet has its own strengths.

I imagine the Three10 is a blast to play with. Either of yours equipped with tweeters?

No tweeter on either cab.
They're both excellent, trying to choose which one suits my needs best is difficult, to say the least.
