Which 15" cab MarkBass or Eden?

Markbass, sound great and are incredibly light weight! I actually have the RH450, and while it wasn't a 2x10 it was a 4x10 my TC amp sounded awesome through a markbass cab worth it IMO.

 

I'll take the bait.

Why add a 15" cab?

 

If you dig the sound of the 210, then add a 2nd identical 210 stacked vertically = smaller footprint, better dispersion and closer to your ears for the win

 

One of my rigs is a Markbass SD800 head with 410 and 115 cab. I like the 410, but I'm not so crazy about the 115. I have tried the 115 by itself and sounds very dull even when EQ is adjusted. At one point I was thinking of having (2) 115 cabs, If I do this I will try another brand.

 

Do the 102P stack. Sounds great.

 

If you need something cheap get the Eden. If you want something that sounds good get the MarkBass. I've owned both.
Also, why the RH450? it's only about 160 watts!

 

And the Eden sounds good as well

 

Well, first I would not mix speaker sizes. Maybe if you bi-amp the system.
Go with 2x210 or 2x115
Possibly consider one 212 cab

 

It's "actual" wattage may be low but it certainly does not sound weak... don't knock it til you try it. They're a deceptively competent little amp.

 

The reason I knock is because I have tried it...in fact I owned it!! sounds like 160 watts to me.

 

Fair enough. Mine was a B-stock refurbished by TC, maybe the "problem" was it was louder than normal somehow, but it's certainly not noisy/hissy and has had no issues, so who knows.. I've never had to max it and I still manage to be loud enough to be audible through 3 walls of soundproofing (oops, lol) playing in a full band with a hard hitting drummer and guitarists with cranked tube amp stacks. Just surprised you thought yours sounded true to its wattage because mine doesn't at all. Maybe its a settings/bass related thing too. Who knows

 

Are you able to listen to each one together with your MarkBass 210 to hear how they sound together?
They are both good cabs, yet different, get what you like the sound of best.
I like getting another MarkBass Traveler 102p, the sound will be the same, just more, the weight is less than the other cabs, and the box is the same size and shape. Then stack them vertically like this,

This gets the sound closer to your ears and not your knees, and just sounds great.
Read this Thread about it. I am a 210 vertical stack believer!!

 

IMO, I can take or leave the vertical stacking thing, but the Markbass Standard 102HF cab sounds much better than their 115.

 

The Markbass traveler is a good sounding bass cab.
I prefer the tone of the Markbass New York 151 which is better tuned to my ears. This cab also has a better form factor and an amazing transportability.
I own one by the way.

 

I suggest you do a search about the RH450 on this site. It is not 450 watts!! It's more like 160 watts.

 

I've ordered four or five used (Markbass) cabs. from GC online- all have been great (in fact- waiting atm: Waiting for UPS man... (Markbass content)

Heres a Traveler 151P... they charge $40.00 shipping + tax... so you'll save a few $$... just a thought

Markbass Traveler TRV151P 400W 1X15 Bass Cabinet

I just picked up 2- 151HR cabs... as I prefer a bit more depth & low end - afforded by the larger, ported cab. I might try a 102HF... the closed 10" cab is (was) a bit to 'shrill' for me... I have a coupla 12's... that works as well!

I am not familiar with Eden cabs... but I did stay at a Holiday Inn- last month so they're probably pretty good!!

 

Dang... why am I always the thread killer?
