What's your favorite Speaker Cabinet?

I've been using the Genz Benz G-Flex 2x12 for some time now and really love the way it sounds with my setup! Just arriving Today was my 4x12 so I'm just putting it to the test! I think it will sound just fine!

:cool:

I haven't had a lot of experience with cabinets. As far as 2x12s, I have played a VHT closed fatbottom, a VHT semi open back, a Bogner oversized, and a Dr. Z Z best. To be honest, they were all great cabs with the Z being the boomiest and loudest. I had the Z for 2 years before I traded it in for the Bogner which is more cutting and has more hi end imo. I only traded the Z in because I wanted to match the cab with the amp and the Z was rated at 4 ohms (I needed 8-16 ohm cabs). As far as 1x12, I've played the Mesa and the Bogner with the Bogner being far better in terms of having a bigger bottom. As far as 4x12, I've played only two, both of which were Bogners but with different speakers (an all loaded vintage 30s, and the Uberkab which has 2 vintage 30s and 2 GT12T-75s) . I bought the 4x12 Uberkab but found very little use for it, so I sold it. There are so many great cab makers, that it is kind of hard to choose which ones are best.

Any thoughts about front loaded speakers to rear loaded?

All of my amps are now combos. The last cabinet I used was build by Jenkins Soundworks down in Mississippi (sp). It was truley well constructed and had great tone with my old THD Univalve. It was a 1x12 with a Weber California. One of the cool things was the jenkins is built to be run either as a closed or open back design.
