I have a parametric eq patched into the head..I did a quick sweep with the frequency control to locate 'the bump'. Like I said, it isn't overbearing or unpleasant. This may be the reason for the punchiness and Jorg claim that his cabinets cut thru better in a band situation.
Of course I was kinda busy playing with my new toy to get into in depth research.

I sent Jorg an E-mail yesterday during the Super Bowl asking about some of his thoughts on which cabinet combo would be best for me. I received a reply back in 11 minutes. Needless to say, I was impressed! I am thinking of going with a 410 and a 1212 and running my F1-X / SF-2 in bi-amp and using one side of my QSC 3402 for high and one for low (410 high, 1212 low).
As always, I am open to other suggestions so if anyone wants to chime in, feel free.

Sounds like a BIG system. It would definitely be overkill for the bar gigs and small outdoor shows I do. The claim is that Jorg's 1210 is equal in volume to most peoples 4x10 cabinets, and the 1212 is supposed to be a little louder than the 1210. I have heard that people are replacing 6x10 cabs or 1x15/4x10 stacks with Jorg's 4x10 cabinet. That combo is going to be loud if you feed it the right power.

There's a guy running a 1212 with a 1210, and I think that might be a more reasonable sized stack, but you know how much air you need to push. Check out the TalkBass thread (or at least the end of it if you don't have a spare week).

Also, I think all of Jorg's cabs are pretty full-range, so I don't know how much bi-amping would buy you.

I sent Jorg another E-mail and he suggested running each cabinet full range. I don't run my systems with a loud stage volume, but I do like to feel a little shake when needed! I like the flexibility of two different cabinets so I can either run both, or choose one depending on the stage acoustics.
I also asked about wheels and covers. Jorg stated that covers are available for both large and small cabinets and wheels could be added to the 410, though he uses a moving dolly for his gear.
I still have to weigh out the pros & cons before ordering, but Jorg is very helpful. I am sure if I give him a call, all my questions will be answered.

Hi Pete
As Bob said..how much air do you need to push ?
The 4x10 & 1212 combo may be overkill, unless you're playing big places.
With my limited experience, I'd think a 1210 or 1212 would do for the local bar jobs. 2 1210's or a 1210/1212 combo would be nice.
I'd also consider the 21012, goes lower than his other cabinets.
Guess it depends on what you want to spend and move. Cuz I'm cheap, I also use a moving dolly..Home Depot 22 bucks.
I also got the cover with my 1210..nicely padded. You may as well get the whole kit.
Again I agree with Bob, you may not really get much out of bi-amping these cabinets.
