This cab is the 350Watt 8ohm 1x10 with the coaxial tweeter, front ported, 1/4" and XLR inputs, recessed leather handle, rubber feat, NO locking corners. I wish it had a 1/4" out for parallel cab hook up and maybe a higher wattage handling.

I play with my church's children's praise and worship band, I'm a straight forward long note player, not real heavy on the low end because we have a p.a. to take care of that. I used these cabs (I use two) for on stage monitor. I liked the sound of the cabs on stage. if anything I had to turn down the bass knob. I was running them with a SWR Bass 350 and RBI.
****Here comes the complaint***** from day one I heard a strange "fluttering" sound coming from the woofers starting at about 90 dBc on my low E through A on the E string. the regular tone of the note was there, but added to it was the flutter. I don't remember hearing this kind of sound with my SWR WM-10 cab. I sent the CXL-110L back to EA to look at them. They said they were fine, but I disagree. I've heard from several other EA users who had similar, as far as we know, problems with EA 110, 112, and 208 cabs. in each case something was fixed or replaced and the sound was better, but EA said mine were "up to factory spec"? anyway I told them I didn't want them if they could not fix that sound. I'm gonna try a CXL-112L, I hope that works better for me. If I had NO problems with the "flutter" I would have rated this sound as a 9!
Reliability

9
I had these two CXL-110Ls for two months and they seemed quite durable and able to handle high volume. except for my "flutter" problems I thought they'd be quite reliable. THE FLUTTER COULD NOT BE HEARD LIVE OR WITH MUSIC ACCOMPANYMENT. only during quiet solo practice.

EA was very accomadating even after two months of use. They talked about a refund, but I decided on trying the next model up. they paid for shipping and I don't expect to pay for any shipping. they are very eager to please their customers
Overall Rating

I've been playing for four years and I've owned several combos, amps and cabs from Fender, SWR, Ampeg, and EA. We'll see what the future holds for EA in my life, I hope my future is bright, I really wanted to like their stuff after all the rave reviews of other equipment from their company.
