[QUOTE="photios, post: 6746, member: 227"] I own a Randall RS412XLT and a Marshall 1960BV, and a Marshall 1960 BHW...I used to own a GB G-Flex and 2 Ear Candy Buzz Bombs. The 2x12 cabs just flat cant hold a candle to the 4x12's...they sound like your playing in a sewer tube or something. IMO, 2x12's are a joke for rock music...4x12 with casters arent that much heavier and because of the casters, I think the 4x12's are easier to transport. FWIW, the Ear Candy's sounded terrible IMO...the GB was OK, but still didnt hold a candle to any 4x12 I own. I find at gigging volumes that the Randall XLT cab is a bit more punchy and tight. Still, I prefer the airy, crunchy quality of the Marshall better for my vintage rock preference. At low levels, I like the Marshall much better...the Randall seems fuzzy at low levels...that could be becuase the Marshall has a lot of miles on it and the speakers are broken in while the Randall is fairly new and the speakers are a bit tight at this point. For the money, its hard to beat a used Marshall IMO...you can pickup a used 1960B with the V30's in it for $500. The difference between the MTS and the XL cabs is that the MTS is a slightly less expensive cab (I think its slightly cheaper wood...11 ply vs. 13 thus the lighter weight)...the XL cabs are Randalls top of the line...still, for the money a used 4x12 will get you more bang for the buck. Check out Craigslist in your local area...if you can find a used but not abused Marshall or a Mesa (traditional cab not the Recto cab), you'd be money ahead and have a great cab. [/QUOTE]
