Ah yes, it could well lead to a Compact+S12T stack!
Speaking of which, I had a go at it tonight. Now it was at low practice volumes and just me on my own, but here are a few initial thoughts.
The sound of both cabs is instantly quite different. The Compact is deep and slightly woolly (I am used to a tweeter!), perhaps a scooped sound compared to the S12T but at least seemed not as strong in the mids as the S12T. Whereas, the S12T on its own sounded a lot brighter and punchier, definitely better for playing up at the dusty end, butt noticably less "deep" than the Compact.
But both together? ... oh my god. This is the sound I have been after all these years - both deep and punchy at the same time. Everything is there, and the two cabs go together completely naturally. Love it!
After 10 mins of low volume playing the amp didn't complain at all or even get warm, though obviously this is not a very thorough test!
I am definitely looking forward to cranking this rig up at the next rehearsal!
As an aside, yes the 2.66 ohm stuff is in that table, so it looks like TC have admitted these amps are 2.66 ohm capable. Even more interesting is there "peak" power of 800W that has always been put forward, is actually the peak power at 2.66 ohm load. So I don't really expect any problems with the Barefaced cabs I've got now.
EDIT: And it looks more and more that "only works with three TC cabs" is just marketing for you to go and buy more TC cabs!

I currently have a Compact and S12t both at my place (Compact going back). But I cannot try it as my ABM is only 4ohm capable...
MY interest is awakened in the TC amps again though...but go not dosh so it will have to wait. For a long time...
