hello guys
just upgraded the old amp head! Looking for a good 210 to pair with this new eden!
I picked up an eden ex112 just to use at rehersals and for home use, but need something with a little more oopmh to play live that will really let the low notes on my EPIC shine, any suggestions
the lighter and smaller the better honestly, Tiny car, old knees

I'm running a Schroeder 212 (4ohm) with my Eden WT400. Don't know the exact weight, but I can carry it with one hand easily.
Very lightweight cabinet with plenty of oomph!

Maybe check out DNA cabs, they are light weight and sound a lot like Eden cabs.

I did a look through reverb and saw a DNA 210 for $400

What kind of budget do you have? The Barefaced 210S is small, light (31lbs), really loud and has response from 30 Hz to 6kHz (no tweeter). They are made to order in the UK and then shipped to you overnight, shipping is included in the price which is approx. $849 US dollars. The cabinet has switchable ohmage, you can set it to either 4 ohms for single cabinet usage or 12 ohms if you decide to add one or two more later. You can run 100-500 watts into it safely, more if you play clean.
The newer Mesa Boogie Subway cabinets are light and loud, too, but also pricey. You would be looking at a 12" or 15" speaker, though, not sure if they have a 2x10 option
Where do you live? I am most likely going to be selling an Eden 210XST cabinet soon, cab is in the SF Bay Area. Nice sounding cabinet and easy to move size but 59lbs so not exactly light.
The Schoeder cabinets are nice, too, lots of choices out there.

I love my MAS Flex 210, but it's not exactly lightweight. Still, as much oomph as a 4x10 and more than my Sunn 200S. My bandmates have nicknamed it "Thor."

Though not a 2x10, I've recently bought a barefaced bigbaby II which is a 1x12 and horn tweeter to replace my mesa boogie 2x10. It is really lightweight and 800w handling and a really clean powerful hifi sound and much better off axis sound than the mesa boogie cabs. Oh yes, I also I drive a little car too, a smart car and the cab with a walkabout head or PJB M-300 rig fits perfectly and more importantly still has bass authority on state. :-)

I'm using a Markbass 210 cabinet, but not sure how that would pair with something other than a Markbass head. It does sound great though. I Like that the head goes in the backpack, bass in one hand cab in the other and it's one easy trip.
