PR-410hlf or 2 PN-115hlfs

[thunderfish]

So, as much as I love my Ampeg PR-410hlf, it’s getting a bit heavy to lug. A million years ago, I used to rock a Kustom 2x15 with a Sunn Coliseum and remember the thick delivery. Wondering what would happen with two PN-115hlfs, as compared with the PR-410hlf. Using an SVT-4PRO. P-Bass Deluxe in passive mode about 99.999% of the time. Not caring too much about highs or high mids these days.

Check out the Ampeg PN410HLF. I had the PR410HLF, 410HE, Eden 410xlt SWR 410 Goliath, Mesa PH410. IMO the Ampeg PN410HLF beats them all. The best part is that it only weighs 67lbs. It also delivers plenty of low end. It's a keeper for me.

The PF115hlf probably has the closest tonal response to the PR410hlf with that huge low end response.

Interesting as I'm looking for a nice 410 to replace my two SWR 410 GIII....

With the 4-pro, the pair would look a little odd (I’m weird that way). How might two PN-115s sound? I’m reading things like “flat” and “lifeless”, but am not convinced. Value your opinion...

You know, I've never tried the PN cabs, and Ampeg had the whole PN lineup at NAMM, and I kept saying to myself that I must try them, and with all the NAMM chaos and special presentations and talking to folks, I didn't. So I'm sorry but I can't answer with any basis of knowledge. Ampeg themselves describes them as sounding like Ampeg cabs but a little cleaner and clearer.

BTW, I just noticed a typo...I typed PF115hlf when I meant to type PN115hlf. They don't have a PF115hlf, only a PF115lf, no h. So anything I said in that post you quoted, I meant for the PN112hlf.

Just checking to see what you went with. Just picked up a nice Svt 7 pro used and playing through a 4x10 he cab. Not enough low end for me. I've been looking at adding the pn 115.
Thanks.
