Unknown Avatar Frequency Lows

OK

What can I believe in life.:D Besides my family's love.

Can I just ask:

Will the Carvin Bx 1500 along with an Avatar B210 and B112 all with Dave's Neo Eminence drivers 4 Ohm cabs each sound good; knowing that the Carvin will provide a dedicated amp section to each cab.

Just my taste but I like clean clear powerful lows and nice highs, and not a lot of mids.:(

I would personally match that 210 with another matching 210, rather than a 112. While having 2 discrete amps would allow you to control the volume to the 112, what you'll find is that your 210 will be more sensitive than the single 12, therefore louder, to get the single 12 up to the same volume, you're pushing it harder, which isn't good for that speaker...and since I know you're interested in the low end extension abilities of these cabs, I'm going to assume you're not going to be attenuating your low end. That means you're putting your single 12 at a greater risk than the 210.

On top of that, with two matching cabs you'll have a greater certainty that the cabs will work well together, not giving you any errant phasing or alignment problems.

Good point, other side, use two 12's or four 8ohm 12's for larger gigs?
