Bergantino is #1 for me!
That said, I checked a whole bunch of other cabs (ranging from SWR and Ampeg to Bag End and Epifani). I probably would've checked more (Schroeder, Acme?) but I can't vote on those I haven't tried!

Refreshing to hear from someone so adventurous and open-minded.
Hey, loyalty can be an admirable quality...
i voted for schroeder because even though there's a bunch of really awesome stuff out there, the 21012 nailed the exact tone i wanted on the first note i played through it. never mind the much more doable price point. guess who doesn't gas on cabs anymore!
honorable mention and much respect, of course, to accugroove and bergantino, and nobody can ever step to an acoustic 360 with a 2x15.

My favorites remain cabs that I own:
Nahas 1-12 tiltback, 1-15
Bag End D10BX-D 2-10 coax, S15BX-D 1-15 coax
Euphonic Audio VL-110s
Nahas 1-12 tiltback, 1-15
Bag End D10BX-D 2-10 coax, S15BX-D 1-15 coax
Euphonic Audio VL-110s
Of the bunches that I've owned nothing (yet) compares to my EA CXL112s.
With that said, the Schroeder 1210s have me seriously looking. I know that the difference between my EAs and the Schroeders would only be a couple of db but the thought of dropping 850+watts each into two 1210s almost makes me salivate!

I've played through all the big names and there's just something magical about playing through an Acoustic 360 setup. That's how a bass is supposed to sound. Jaco knew it! Now I'm kicking myself for not picking up this complete setup for $750!!!
Bass Northwest has a set for sale, check the used amps and cabinet section
Love my Bergantino's NV610, HT/EX112
I also voted for Schroeder 1210 and will be testing the 1212 soon.
I am also very interested in the 21012 and possibly the 410.
More interests are the EA VL cabs and I would love to try the Accugroove line also.
My choices are based mostly on live testing and my other gear.
Laklands, Sadowsky, WWU, Demeter201s, Crest CA9.
Note: If any of the manufactures or innovators of the superb gear available today would like me to test their product on a full time basis, I would gladly retire from my current job and do this until I croak.

That makes two of us! Maybe we should collaborate?Big String said:Note: If any of the manufactures or innovators of the superb gear available today would like me to test their product on a full time basis, I would gladly retire from my current job and do this until I croak.

A match made in Heaven...our wives and children would have to throw us scaps of food to sustain us in the testing facility that we would surely never come out of. Let's see... what would we actually need.
Room at least 40'x40' (acoustically perfected)
Mixers, near field monitors, other studio gear etc.
Two state of the art computers for detailed reviews. DSL or cable
Comfy high back chairs and stools.
At least one comode with high powered exhaust fan.
Very large SS Fridge for Beer. (Heinekens, Killians Red etc)
Large screen HD TV for games etcs. Two recliners drink holder included.
Small window to see if the sun is out.
Special delivery entrance for UPS and FDX.
Direct linking to Basstasters. Fly Van in when ever we need him.
Oops, I forgot some essentials. Hand rolled Dominican Rep. (Cuban Seed) cigars, and several cases of some Cragganmmore Single Malt Scotch... mmmm, another match made by Heaven.
That ought to do it for startes. I'm sure I forgot something.
Of course this would all be subsidized by the fabulously wealthy suppliers of the gear we would be living with. I love this job already. I can't wait to start.

" What this gets down to is a lot of bass. There is an actual warning label on these units that reads prolonged use could lead to hearing loss.
Amen to that !!! check out my avatar ... Acoustic 360 !!!
right now , i'd have to give Bergantino my main choice ...{ love my HT310 } , but would like to combine it with his newer models , especially the NV425 ...
Ampeg PR 410HLF The best of the best, the band loves it, I love it, except lugging it around . . . Tried it with a G-K RB400 head, sounds good . . But plug it with any Ampeg head, especially SVT series . . Forget about it, TONE out the wazooo. Hold on to your wig 'cause the breeze will blow you away !
Bag End Q10X-D (thank you for putting Bag End on top instantly 
).... the sound is so nice and warm to my ears and yet still transparent. Especially the high range can't get any better with a fluid tweeter, although I have heard some fantastic sounds coming out an Aguilar GS410.
But as far as I am concerned, most of the cabs are way less worse then my BE! The only complaint is that I don't own two of them.
