Just got mine a week ago but only got to play it with my cab for about an hour or so before I started doing some major modifications to my Avatar B115 cab to add a 6" mid speaker and crossover that I had in a small add-on cab I built for 2 horns then the 6" (which replaced the horns as it sounded better). But getting older and having back problems I am trying to scale down on weight factor where I can. That is the reason I bought the Streamliner in the first place. I am putting 2- 3" recessed casters on the back bottom edge and a recessed handle on top so I can pull the cab like luggage. I had to cut the front board out and install a new one with the 15" speaker moved lower and to the left to accommodate the 6" mid speaker with it's own small box behind it. Hope to have it up later today. It is killing me with anticipation. Before you say "why didn't you just buy one already built" the reason for me is simple:
A. nice Neo 15" speaker and 6" 18 sound mid speaker I recently bought
B. Money ;)

I love mine. My 212 cabinet sounds good but not quite enough definition. I could probably turn up the horn a bit but don't really care for the harshness of the horn. When I added the 210 I got what I was looking for. The 210 by itself,is great for smaller situations, although a little more bottom end would be great. I love your solution for the 15 and the 6. You can't beat the bottom end of the 15 and the 6 should give the midrange to round it out. It sounds like a lot of work, but it's well worth it if you end up with a great sound that doesn't break your back. Let us know how it sounds when you get it together and are able to crank it up. That's when the Streamliner comes alive.

The best I had was with a 2x10 and 1x15. They really sung together and projected well.
I had to sell the 2x10 reluctantly about 3 years ago. Then about 2 years ago I decided to try a 6" in the cab with 2 Eminence pro horns. The horns were OK but I was bi-amping them from my GK 700RBII's tweeter section direct. The problem with that is it starts at 5KHZ. I could have made a crossover that started at 3Khz for the horns but found the 6" with bandpass crossover I made sounded sweeter so I took those heavy magnet "boat anchor" horns totally out of the small cab to lighten it.
What is weird about the small horn that came with the avatar cab if you ever just ran it by itself (no other speaker) it sounded gravelly and distorted but when played with a speaker sounded ok. By contrast the Eminence Pro Horn (85 watt)sounded musical by itself.

I recently bought a Genz Benz Streamliner 900. I'm loving the amp. The head nails so many different sounds, it's hard to settle in on one.

I first paired up the amp with a Genz Benz XTL210T cabinet. I was just not digging it much, I was also afriend that I might blow out the cab being the head is a 900 watt head.

I only had the cabinet for three weeks and decided to trade it back in for a new SWR Marcus Miller 410 Golight. I'm digging it, 4 Ohm, 800 watts, and only 55 lbs. Pic below.
