big rob Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hi All, I am thinking of getting a TC RH450 but dont think i can manage to get the matching cabs at the moment. Therefore i am thinking of using my existing 2x10 with HF trace cab. Would be interested if anyone has tried this or has any advice on the subject. Thanks in Advance Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theotherphiljones Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 yep. i was in the same position as you when i got my RH450. Had a 2x10 and 15 Trace from a previous rig. I thought they paired nicely and shifted some air. Although at the time i was happy with the sound, when i eventually got hold of a cheap RS212 it took the RH to a different level in my opinion. My advice would be to go for it with your existing cab. Then it'll be all the sweeter when you get the matching cabs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It wouldn't be my match on the face of it...but as a stop gap, then sure. I think TC amps will work best with cabs designed for their nuances..and I really liked the RH750 with matching RS210 cabs..but would be wary otherwise. But then this is normal with a lot of amps and cabs..so match well and others don't... You can have forgiving and clean amps and cabs so generally clean and clean works and dirty/forgiving match well, but as always, plug it in and see what you think/hear. If I was going down the TC route..it would be with their cabs as well, eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big rob Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thanks for the advice guys, looking at getting a single RS210 in the end to match with it and would like to go with the cab matching the amp but its alot of pennies all at once. Theotherphiljones how was the move from Trace to TC are you happier with the TC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbass Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I am currently using my RH450 with a RS210 and a trace elliot 1518c bottom cab and i have been using this set up for about a year now,done 20/25 gigs and i havent had a problem.It is extremely loud if you want it to be and has plenty of ooomph! It has masses of bottom end and can shake windows and more importantly you dont lose the quality of the sound.I do think that it gives you your own unique sound aswell. I also have a 2x10 trace cab that i will try out with both these cabs one day just to hear what it sounds like but as it stands i'm well happy with it.I did plan to buy a RS212 but i do wonder if it really does make that much of a difference for the money.I would however buy one if a second hand one came along for the right price.Trace Elliot speakers are top quality and do the job very well IMO.

risingson Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Not had experience matching up my TC RH750 with any Trace cabs but I can highly recommend TC's RS212's and 210's. They go very well with their amp counterparts and I am extremely happy with mine. Light too, at least compared to my old rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
