Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just purchased and received this cab. I had never used a 210XL cab in the past, but figured it would be a good buy since I have been very satisfied with other Hartke products that I own. I've gotten a few hours time in with this cab. I'm running it with a Trace Elliot AH500X at 250w RMS paired with a Hartke 115XL also running off the Trace at 250w RMS and playing an Ibanez ATK300 bass. I think the power handling ratings are a little conservative, I cranked it up good and loud with 250 watts going to it, and it sounded great with no clipping or distorting. The 210XL adds some brightness to the highs and mids and gives the rig a more punchey growl that I was missing using just the 115XL. Alone, the 210XL is a little lacking in the deep bottom end when compared to a 15" hartke speaker which is why I only rated it as good for sound quality, but does perform well in the lows for 10" speakers and does exactly what you would expect/want from the smaller 10" speakers. You could definitely use this cab alone for small gigs and practicing. It's not too heavy, which is nice, but still feels very sturdy and well crafted.
