I agree that I don't use the most efficient cabs out there, so that's part of the "volume" story.
I would say that even though I loved my SVT 4 Pro, It really does not feel the same with the 7-Pro. When It comes to general kick and tone I've been very much in love with the M6, But I like to be able to control Eq, etc on the fly, and thats a bit difficult with the M6.

M9? then you'd have a graphic EQ. I'll be moving up to that for that very reason.

Jpold. What about the Aguilar DB750 or 751. All the power you could ever want, and a great tone that is less furry than Ampeg. If I had the $$$ that is what I would play.

I would love an Aguilar DB751, but it cost almost twice of an M9 here in Denmark, so it's impossible for me to find that kind of money.
I just got a good deal on the M9, and I've ordered it. That should be very powerful compared to the RH750..

Thx for all the advise.

Is the RH750 'too much' for the RS212?

What about the RS212 and the RS210, stacked?

Is there really a noticeable difference in 'loudness' or 'watts'?

No it shouldn't be, the RH750 only produces around 250 w RMS in 8 ohms:confused:, and the RS212 can handle 400 RMS, so as long as you don't eq the hell out of it, you should be fine.

TC's design of the RS cabs are great - but I'm not a fan of the drivers chosen. The Moment I can get my hands on a (dead) RS212 cab and replace the drivers, I will.

The RS210 is simply to weak in the bottom, I've gigged with two RS212's and thats where it gets interesting :).

I kind of feel this is symptomatic of the whole bass 2.0 series : Great design and gig friendly features, but with a compromise in power and quality.

Weirdly, I dont find any compromise, but that's just me.

I played another gig last night with the RH750 and my SWR Golight Jr 2x10 and it sounded great. It was a lower volume gig and that's where it seems like the RH750 stays clean and clear. I go back and forth with this amp. One night it sounds good to me, another night it sounds like a mushy tube amp. I've only got a couple of more days on my trial. I'm tempted to send it back and try one of those big wattage Markbass heads, I don't know it would be any better. I've got another gig tonight, maybe that will be the deciding factor.

I'm not sure, I'm still learning the ropes with the amp in a gigging scenario. It seems like the louder you turn it up, the more it goes into tube-like mush. I can see where for some that would be desirable, but I want it to maintain that big, piano tone at volume as well.

IME/IMHO, among the micro heads, the GK's do the best job at this. My MB500 does it very well, and I have very high hopes for the MB800.

I really do like my RH450, but it does seem to mimic the behavior of an all-tube head - which I like, BTW, but which is perhaps contrary to your particular goal(s).

Try the Blacksmith, it should sound the same, but way louder.
Your experience with the RH750 is the same reason that I've ordered the M9, I play loud and very dynamic, so the limiter in TC is just to mushy..

I guess everyone's entitled to their opinion, even if it's wrong. :D

The quality of the gear has never been called into question, I don't believe. And the whole "power" thing is really silly, IMO. I just gigged my RH750 last night in a 150-person bar with a Thunderchild 112 cab. Had the RH750 on 3 and a filled the room.
