Is there any real differance? My plan was to get a Mesa Rec cab, but I really can't afford the 4x12. So my plan was to get a 2x12 since I really don't need that extra speaker power.

But just in case I thought I would ask the more experienced if there (in any situation, not just recording) is a significant differance in sound etc with a 4x12.
Except the obvious loudness.
