do any of you prefer 2x12 cabs to 4x12?

I prefer 2x12's for portability. I use a ADA split stack sometimes when I run my rack in stereo & those cabs are very easy to tote. Otherwise, I also run 4x10's sometimes and have a pair of 4x10 cabs for that.
I also have a Marshall 1961b which is a full size 4x12 but only has 2x12's mounted diagonally. It's about 20 lbs lighter than a full Marshall 4x12.
I haven't tried a Genz Benz, but I think either that or a Vert 2x12 Mesa or an Avatar will be the next way to go in a 2x12. The Marshall tall AV cabs, which are the resissues of the old tall 4x12 cabs have also caught my interest.

I like the sound of a 412=back strain and bass response. 212=less back strain and thinner sound.

I got a Soldano 4x12 which is smaller & lighter than a regular cab. You pussies! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
