Just got my Acoustic B200H and also picked up a B20, planning to try them out tonight. I'd ask for a number but can't figure out how to add more titles to my sig. Details and pics soon to follow. I've actually gotten quite a few things I haven't had a chance to photograph............

Me too. Just got my B200H today and plugged it into my GB NEOX-210T. Nice!!!!! Very nice!!!!! I can't believe the balls this thing has. And so adjustable. I'm impressed.
DING DING DING DING!!!!!!

Just got done with rehearsal and I really have to say that the B200H needs a 4ohm cab to stand alone. I noticed that the B200 combo is ported and since it's speaker is matched at 4ohms it really thuds (HEAVY low end esp through a P bass) but somewhat drowns out the high end a bit. The B115 is sealed so the mid/highs are pulled foward but you lose the monstorous low end of the combo. When I played through the combo I put the gain about 10 o'clock and the volume at 11. With the half stack, I had to turn the volume up to 75%. My drummer was complaining about the lack of low end I previsouly had. Suffice it to say, if you play with a loud drummer/guitarist you will want a full stack for this head. As much as I would hate to lug around almost 200 pounds of amp, 2 B115's would probably sound AMAZING through this head.
The B115 is listed as a ported cab. Haven't really noticed or paid attention to mine...are you sure that it is sealed?
I'll know for sure tomorrow, when I am back in front of it.
But, yes, I agree with the 2 B115's. My second is due into GC tomorrow for a pick up.
It sounded huge running through my Genz 212T, which is a 4 ohm cabinet.

It's listed as ported? Well, the B200 combo is definately ported, you can see it through the mesh. The B115, has no visable port that I can see, just the horn tweet, then again I could be wrong. I was thinking about picking up a cheap Peavy 115 to hook up to it and see how it goes.....
From the MF and the Acoustic Amplification site:
The B115 bass cabinet features a rock-solid, tuned and ported design with heavy internal bracing, caster sockets and professional spring-loaded touring handles with rubber grips.
Wouldn't be the first time that ad copy was wrong though. Like I said, I am not in front of mine right now and won't be until tomorrow.

On / Off button. Footswitchable. As is the input Mute.
To Stacknobuser:
Does the B600H have Speakon connectors?
Thanks!
Also,
will the B600H head be the same size as the B200H?
I ask as I'm in the middle of a rack mount experiment with the B200H.
I'd hate to have to do it all over again later.

To Stacknobuser:
Thanks for your reply.
That's good and not so good; and IMO an odd design choice - from what's been sent around it will deliver its full 600W at 2 ohms (PLEASE CONFIRM for all us proactive folks), and I had hoped to connect it to two powerful 4-ohm cabs.
But in order to offer a complete array to cover all cabs, it would need to have 2 Speakons and 2 1/4s - perhaps space considerations came into play. At the very least, will it have one speakon and one 1/4?
Or perhaps a better way to put it is: What is the B600H's speaker connection complement?
Thanks.
Do your 4-ohm cabs not have the ability to daisy-chain? That's what I was thinking when I heard of 1 speakon. Just wish the B115 had Speakons...that might be a good retrofit project.
Also, the Shuttle 6.0 has 2 speakon connectors and is about 1/4 of the size of the B200H, so I wouldn't guess it was size that caused it...maybe cost.

Hello, sevenorchids -
My cabs have one of each, so I've have to go Speakon out, Speakon in, 1/4 out, Speakon in.
But let's see what the B600H specs actually are; when you're getting into amps that run at 2 ohms you're getting into more big-gun territory, and I'd be curious as to what the engineering considerations were.
My 230 "guitar" head + 404 1x15 cab.
I use it for bass.The 230 is like the 220 bass version but with a reverb and a distorsion circuit.I like the tons of sounds possibility of the 230.
And with the footswitch everything is well... footswitchable.
+ this combo is ok to move, not too heavy.
If someone have a 404 with original speaker, I'm interested.I would like a second one to complete my acoustic rig
