no hi-watt

No Hi-Watt. It's forbidden under Rule 51 Subsection 21 of the federal treaty for guitar cabinet manufacturer regulations

I must say, my first thought was Matamp and then Hiwatt. Oh well

best I ever owned was in the 80's a 4x12 Hi-watt straight cab with fane speakers, loved that cab

Cabinets (modelled) are like colours in you palette (like any sound) - why should I leave some of them out?
I can say my favourite colour is brown, but if I have a night in the opera, I won’t wear brown, but black or dark blue.

In that case: Which cabinet brand sounds the most brown?
Sounds cool & unusual. Would love to hear the sound of it!

I don't even own a Cab these days but I've heard good things about Harley Benton cabs with 12" Celestion Vintage 30 speakers for....$207. Cheaper than you can buy the raw speakers.

I have two 1974cx Marshall extension cabs, not because I am a Marshall amp fan, because i am not really, and would never own a marshall amp, but i do like the sound of the celestion greenbacks that these cabs are loaded with.

From what I've read in forums I might be the only one but I love my original Peavey 5150 4*12 (straight, Sheffield 1200 speakers).
Super punchy and a fat bottom end and an awsome sound when recorded with a condensor a few meters away and SM57 close at the side of the speaker (off-axis).
I've even bought a few spare speakers from overseas (you coudn't get them in Germany)

I was in a band with a friend in the 80's, he had a JCM 800 on top of what he called a Marshall Tallboy cabinet like in the picture below but it was blonde.
It's a 4x12 with the speakers offset, it was a nice sounding amp tbh and I liked playing through it once in a while. (at the time I had my first boogie sob on top of the hiwatt 4x12).
