    they're Eminences that are made just for genz benz; supposedly they're something like a beefier V30, but some people say they don't hear that comparison

    (when I had mine I never compared it to V30s)

      Eminence has told me the closest thing in their lineup in the Legend V12

        eminence, supposed to be a V30 clone but I have never been able to do a comparison.
        i have a g-flex and like how they sound but it's a big cab for a 2x12 and it's ported so no doubt that changes things a bit.

          Is there a huge difference in size when compared to a Marshall 1936 2x12? I really want to try out one of the Genz-Benz 2x12 cabs.

            Not much difference. I looked up the specs on the 1936 and measured mine, the cubic volume is about the same with the 1936 being slightly larger. They're built differently though, the 1936 is a bit taller and slightly shallower. The Genz is wider and slightly deeper. The big difference is I "think" the 1936 is just an empty box whereas the Genz is baffled and ported.
            The Genz can be run in Mono 16ohm, stereo 8ohm each or 4ohm mono

              I have the Genz Benz 2x12 as well and I find it allows for a lot more bass without the farting.

                I like the bass in them, but I find the stock speakers to be a little more harsh or brittle... could just be my ears though
