I totaly agree with you about the weight of these cabs with the stock speakers. But after replacing them with some Eminence Deltalite 2515's, it has made them MUCH more manageable and they sound great!

So you have more than one OBC115 and you changed from the original 15” Eminence Kappa that they come with Eminence DeltaLite in both cab? Any chance you did an A/B comparison in sound?
Looked at the specs and replacing the kappa 15 with the delta lite 2515 would save a whopping 12 pounds. From 65 pounds to 53. You’re right that’s a big difference.
Placing casters on one of the OBC115's makes a huge difference in moving them around as well.
You can't see the casters due to the light bar, but they are there.

Hi. I did not, sorry. The only thing I noticed differently was the weight savings, cabs sound terrific with the Deltalite’s.
Does anyone have experience with their AD200 and an Ampeg SVT-410HE? I’m going into a studio in a week and he has one there for me to use if I want. Plus, I have 4 Eminence SC10-16’s that I’m selling, but also thinking of getting my hands on an SVT410HE and putting these in it, since the HE is a sealed cabinet, maybe these drivers would do well in it as well as lightening the load.
I also have added removable casters to my one cab, it does make a big difference as well!
If my serial number on my AD200B MK3 is
04844-0719 is there any chance ithe 0719 is a date reference? If so it could be from either July 2019 or January 9th 2007?

I’ve been gigging my Terror Bass and OBC-112’s since I got them, and have no desire for anything else. However, I’ve been going direct at church, and haven’t been completely happy with my sound. Today, I took the TB head and used it for a preamp.
Occasionally, someone asks about using the head without a speaker load. That’s what I did this morning, and, as before, it was great. It’s a bit klunky to use as a preamp, I mean, it’s bigger and heavier than my whole pedalboard, but it sure sounds great.

Sadly there's no serial tracking on Oranges website. But let us know what you find out!
D-Class without a load is no problem and a great way to get excellent recording or FOH sounds.
a picture of the back might help more. They have used different parts over the years and I’ve owned a number of these and might be able to tell the changes.
Here ya go. I added a pic of the front because I know the logo graphic has also changed at some point.
yours looks like the most recent version. this looks like the model before yours
Orange AD200B Mk3 200w Bass Head - Black Tolex | Reverb
and then this one looks like the one i had which was the early runs, the "oldest" mk3 if you will.
Orange AD200 MK3 2000s - Orange | Reverb
the UK flag sticker being an indicator of that.

I bet that rig kills! Love my Mercalli 5 into my TB500 with OBC112s. I can only imagine it’s even better into the AD200B with the 15s.
Thanks! It does sound pretty freaking awesome! ( that pic was from my practice the other night ). Can't wait to stretch her legs at our show this weekend. All the stages at my previous shows weren't big enough to accommodate her LOL.
I bet your Mercalli slams through your Orange rig as well!
Hey, if anyone here is using ToneX from IK Multimedia. I just profiled my AD200B, you can get it on the app under my username;

I will also make some custom Cab IR. If you are interested in something special, let me know!

Has anyone ever had an Orange OBC210 or the Orange OBC210MINI?
I see these listed under their legacy gear, but can’t find one for sale anywhere.

I've an OBC210 Mini, I've only seen one other up for sale. Here it is with my OB115. I sold the AD 200 and got an AD140B.
Is the AD140 an all tube model?
how do you like the sound? A front ported 115 and rear ported 210, do you get clarity and equal volume out of the 210?

It is an all tube head. It was a small run, hand-wired head. Here's a link on #12. I've #11. ORANGE AD140B Hard Wire Custom Shop - Planet Of The Amps
As to the cabs, I like how they work together. I've used that set up with a Bassman 300 and an SVT and have had zero complaints.
