I own a Hartke HA3500 on top of a 410xl, but recently tried out the hydrive cabs. I think the newer cabs are fantastic. They really pull of the extreme ends of low and high quite well. I have loved aluminium cones for a while, but the hybrids seem to bring some extra oomph. Didn't mess with the LH1000, but I did mess around with the 500 watt version, which I'll assume is quite similar. It doesn't have the muti band EQ like my HA, but found is suprisingly easy to get a wide variety of tones from it regardless. I go for a very mid-heavy, clanky tone, and it seems to do that with very little work. You can get a modern scooped sound really easily as well. All in all, I think it can get a good tone for all folks. Hope there was some actual info in this post, lol
