[QUOTE="kc2eeb, post: 147733, member: 811"] Personally, I only use open back cabinets at this point. Generally, closed back cabs, I my experience, only develop their full characteristic sound only when you are at least 8 to 10 feet away from them. An open back, depending on how far away from a hard reflecting surface (a wall, for example) can do it practically right in front of it. Also, a closed back cab (personal opinion) needs to be pushed harder, i.e. louder, to sound good. So, depends what you're looking for. My set ups are usually, an RM50 head, and the original combo, open back cabinet with a Vintage 30 (British) or an Eminence Maverick speaker. The other MTS rig is an RM4, RT2/50 and 2 2x12" open back cabs w/Vintage 30s and 2 4x10" open back cabs w/ Jensens. There is a HUGE difference in the sound over all depending if you keep the power amp master volumes low (9 o'clock) or high (2 o'clock) or higher. Like playing different amps. Playing since '63.
