A very tight, transparent & sterile sound. I use an active, US Peavey Cirrus bass that has a sterile, transparent sound as well. It's a lot of tone coming from my fingers that I have to try and harness, so I've found myself finding a middle ground of EQ adjustments on both the bass and the amp. The low B is tight and responsive with the 8" speakers but it's taken me a bit to find that sweet spot EQ wise. I have a feeling when I push a bigger, more powerful head through these cabs, I'll have to EQ much differently and I can comment further on that when I find the heads I'm looking for. I've used a lot of different cab configurations over the years with 10s, 12s, 15s and 18s. This is my first 8" speaker configuration and I find them to be similar to 15" cabs in terms of tone and response but I have to EQ them a little differently.
I think I'm gonna stick with the BAM200 for now. Don't need the volume of anything larger, and REALLY like the footprint! Along with the 208s, makes for a super portable setup.
