Cab Recommendations

[Jaymz]

Hey,

Im looking to buy the Peavey Triple XXX head in the near future and want to pair it with a cab with Vintage 30's. Ive been looking around online for a while and saw a H&K cab and the Randall RA412XLT for near enough the same price with good reviews. Sadly I cant afford the Mesa Recto cab so im just curious if anybody has any recommendations for around 500/600 quid or if anybody has tried the H&K or the Randall previously.

Cheers!

Framus Dragon. No Mesa, but it doesn't have the Mesa price either.

nice sounding cabs, if doesn´t matter the brand

Mesa, Orange, Bogner, ENGL... All nice cabs.

Going by your use of 'quid' as money... I'm going to guess that getting an Orange will be quite a bit easier/cheaper for you in the UK than it us for us in the US.

My god that Framus cab looks hideous! Brown grill!? LOL.

I use a XXX with an Avatar loaded with Celestion G12T75s and I love it. You can get them loaded with any speaker you choose as well.

..I think it looks pretty sexy...

I cant seem to find any Avatar cabs in the UK for sale, but that Framus Dragon cab seems cheap/easy to get hold of/amazing reviews....so im thinking its no contest with the Randall! Im starting to see what you mean about the grill...im so used to black cloth but it seems the brown can grow on you

Hey if it sounds amazing I dont really care what colour it is anyway!
I havent actually physically seen one as of yet either Thanks for these recommendations!

PS. Is the Dragon cab 200w - mono/100w - stereo? Because some places say its 120w/60w and some say 200w/100w *is a tad confused*

bump

The Dragon, with V30's, is going to be 240watts stereo, 120 mono.

LOL thats 3 differences! Does it also depend on the shop you buy them from? For example, One of them says 100w/200w will THAT cab have that spec and if you buy it elsewhere will that change?

Tbh I would have thought they all come as standard!
