What cab w/ a Hartke LH500 do you use?

#21
Mostly 410 cabinets - I've used it through a Marshall 410 (great), a Fender Rumble 410 (good, but not enough low end for me), and now an Eden D410T (a bit mid-heavy, but volume for days). Also an Avatar 210 that is "ok", but I think I just don't like that cabinet anymore. I've never had to push my LH500 past about 2:00, even playing in a cavernous curling club or outdoors. Fantastic line of heads. I've thought about upgrading to the LH1000, but I've honestly never lacked for power with the 500. Only reason would be to run two 4ohm cabs I guess, but I've never needed to do that either.

Again you should check out their 210s. Also i had some of the best customer service. Made in America can't go wrong.

I don't know, I've swapped speakers and still don't like that cab. Also, nothing against Americans, but it really doesn't matter to me if it's made in your country or someone else's. In fact my fav cab ever so far is my Vietnamese-made Marshall.

For a while I used a single SWR Goliath Jr III--it was good but pretty aggressive in the mids.

I recently bought a Hartke HX112 and it is a GREAT cab--deeper and fatter than the SWR with a less agressive midrange. It's surprisingly loud and deep for a 12. I plan to get another and sell the SWR.
