For rehearsals I use 2x15s but for gigs I just take one. It provides enough stage volume and the sound guy takes a direct line out from my amp into the p.a.

What size Cabinet do you use to play Live

For gigs I use my 410, usually with PA support. Going to try and use the 210 to start saving my back.
For outdoor stuff, I break out The 810 Beast.

Most of the time this 2x12. I haven’t gigged with this head yet because of c19. I was using a GK 800RB before everything shut down.
Sometimes if we’re playing a bigger venue it’s fun to bring out the SVT(MTI) with a 6x10.

Last steady band it was a 210 combo.
Guitar thru a Blues Jr. , keys into a small powered PA speaker., drums.
Every thing run into the PA, same stage volume indoor or out, unless it was a quiet restaurant gig. Crank PA as needed.
Good old days.

Well, here's a chart of the poll results, sorted by approx total Sd (cone surface area). As can be seen, if we really believed that driver size doesn't matter then the 1 x 18 would be a prime choice, smack bang in the middle of the main range of speaker area we favour. I don't think I'd have expected 2 x 12s to be the most popular choice, but its smack in the middle of the distribution curve, so a statistician probably would. The chart also suggests that 3 x 10in drivers might be a logical choice.
The result of a similar poll on amps put 400W as being the mid point, so a 400W 1*10 combo delivering say 150W into a 16ohm speaker plus an 8ohm 2*10 extension cab ought to be a best selling product! Which, I submitm just goes to show how careless use of stats can fool you!

I voted for a 2x10 but in reality I use two in a vertical 4x10 stack. Cabinets are Acme B2s - I have four.

Glad to see the 2-12 love is still here. I do use the tweet but have it turned almost all the way down. These two match up well. With MESA and GK at the top of the bass amp heap. It's what you'd expect. I do admit I'm considering getting a GK Fusion S 800 just because.
