Schroeder or Flite Cabinets?

I have owned 4 different Schroeder cabs including the mini 10 and 12. My hands down favorite is my present 15+. It is 4 ohms and I run it with an GK MB200. Love the sound and it is quite loud. I have played with 2 guitarists, drummer and conga/harp with everyone singing. Never had it over 1 oclock. The mb200 is loud little amp and the 15+ is very efficient. Head is a little over 2 lbs and cab is 30 lbs. I put the head in the gig bag.
 
Problems with Flite Cabinets ...I ordered and paid six (6) months ago....still have not received by cabinets...tried calls....emails...Gerry Suprenant stopped communicating with his customers....his site went dark for a while, now its back up....buyer beware! You are in for a difficult relationship....

I know for a fact that Kurt, who originally built Flite Cabinets, by himself, hasn't been building them for some time. My guess is that the whole thing folded. I owned two of the 2x8's with those N.E.A.R Black Aluminum Drivers. Ken's correct, they have been overshadowed by Euphonic Audio, Bergantino, AudioKinesis, and a host of other builders. If I wanted a composite cabinetm I'd contact Mike Arnopol who builds the Thunderchild 115, Crazy Eight, and Crazy 88, and Big E Cabinets.
