Side question. I was thinking of adding a 410 to my 215 cab. There is a GK BLX 410 available locally for $75. Anyone ever played through one?

I used to have one - then I pushed it too hard playing it in live situations, it is no more. If you're going to just use it around the house it's likely going to be ok. I have to say that after quite a few years playing GK cabs that trying out and buying an SWR cab really opened my ears to the differences speakers/cabs have.

Very true about speakers/cabs. The more things I've played through, I'm about convinced speakers/cabs have more impact on tone than the amp does. At least generally speaking.

The only thing I would try to connect two cabs to is the Sunn. The 215m and the 410 are both 8 ohms. There are two speaker outputs on the Sunn head but only one out on each cab. I wouldn't be driving them hard as it is just home practice.

I am still debating if a 70# cabinet is a good choice as it would have to be stacked given my limited space. Maybe a 210 would be a better choice?

Still need to come to Hollister some day and have you take a look at the MM Sixty Five.
