Harley Benton 2x12 W/V30's

[ShredderForhire]

For $280 American dollars shipped it seems too good to be true.
Anyone have any further insight into these cabs?
I need a cab strictly for reamping purposes and I don't feel that my 5150 cabs will make the cut.

Don't own one personally, but I've heard nothing but great things from people who do. Plus, I've heard great tone out of these cabs. Solid pick up imo.

Mids are a bit boxy, but as far as buying a brand new 2x12 goes with proper brand name speakers, you're not really going to find anything better for the price.
But honestly, if you're gonna be re-amping for people and are beyond the stage of getting to grips with tube amps and mic-ing up, best to look for a 4x12 Boogie Rectifier cab

Look at some of the older stuff Ola (Goddamn Guitar) has posted on here, he got some fucking amazing tone with a Harley Benton cab before he got his Mesa.

I was looking at the Mesa 2x12 roadster. It seems lie a pretty good deal as well. I would rather have a 2x12 but I would consider buying a 4x12.
I have 2 5150 4x12's but I absolutely despise the sound. Would I have better luck buying v30's for one of my 5150 cabs?

The Roadster sounds alot more tighter than the HB cab and is also much smaller. But you will probably be fine with the HB.

Better off getting V30s for your 5150 cabs. 5150 cabinets are built quite solidly. The only issue is sometimes the center support rattles, which is easily alleviated by putting a screw through the back panel into it.
