what, if any, would the difference be in sound between these cabs?

Both have vintage 30s

Harley Benton

Considering the cheaper option plus by the looks of it, it would cost me more to buy 4 vintage 30s to stick in my current cab

Mesa.

another mesa vote. Be patient and get the money to buy that one you dont buy cabs everyday!

 

[MickertroN™]

oh ideally id have the mesa, but what im asking is would there be any obvious differences as they use the same speakers?

 

[drew_drummer]

[MickertroN™]

Enclosure dimensions/materials etc

just because there are the same speakers in the cabinet, they still can sound really different.
mesa cab, orange cab, harley benton or marshall with vintage 30s all sound completely different,
if you're able to buy the mesa, get it, tight, nice bass response, not the greatest fan of orange
cabs for metal, still digging them alot, if you're on a budget the harley benton is pretty good
for the price imho.

Dont believe a word of it . As long as its made from marine grade birch ply with a support in the middle your always gonna make more difference with choice of speakers and a sheet of rock wool . (ed) Dimentions being the same ofcourse
Mesa must be using magic toltex
