LiamPodmore Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 HI all, I'm after some relatively cheap matching 2x10 cabinets, and unfortunately when i've actually got money theres never anything on here. I spotted these on Thomann for £157 each, and they don't look too bad for the price. They're pretty light (18kg) but have a tad lower power handling than i want, and theres nothing on SPL anywhere either. Anyone got/used any of these cabs, or any ideas on what to look at which will suit me better? Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) I've just got myself the MB210 combo and am impressed with it so far. Still need to do a bit of tweaking but it is really loud. I've also just got myself a matching 400w 115MBE cab as well from the same series for larger gigs. the 15", 2x10" & 2x12" MBE series cabs have the same footprint so you can mix and match them Both combo and cab come in at 15kg each The specs for thr cabs are [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/productmanuals/160-0650-A_MBE_specssheet.pdf"]here[/url] but it doesn't give any details for the 400w version of the 15" that I have just bought, only the 200w 4ohm one Edited October 21, 2011 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks for that Del, i'm more interested in the MBX than the MBE though, they're a little more in my price range. Wouldn't mind a pair of MBE's though actually, they do seem like really good cabs. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 All the specs are [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/productmanuals/160-0530-A_MBX_specssheet.pdf"]here[/url] they're [i]only[/i] 200w but it was only 10 years ago I was [i]only[/i] using a 200w combo Looks like they are the replacements for the blx series and probably constructed in the same Chinese factory as the MBE series albeit a different shape and with ceramic instead of neo drivers. Bob Gallien himself has said that the MBE series is the lightweight version of the Neo series cabs minus the bi-amp function and aluminium grills. So the MBX is probably the neo minus the above and heavier? Pass - a complete guess. I would recommend trying them out. I never even considered the MBX series as I wanted something with a higher power rating and lighter than what I already had which was the Laney Nexus 15" at 20kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Anthony Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I considered the full MBX stack (1x15 + 2x10) to go with and MB series head, also from Thomann. Opted out in the end, as getting both the cabs would have gone over my budget, I ended up getting two Peavey's off eBay instead. If I could have afforded both cabs, (Roughly £300) then I'd have probably bought them, but the cabs I bought cost £100 for the pair. If you could find somewhere you could try them out first, then go for it. Otherwise, they're priced well and Thomann do offer a 30 day return period, if I'm not mistaken. Anthony.

LiamPodmore Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks guys. I might just grab 2 of those and try them in a gig situation, hopefully they'l be good for what i want. If not, as Mr_Anthony says, there's always the 30 day returns policy. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
