Re: Randall Cab

Seems like a fair price for a decent cab. I'm assuming that they're 12k-100's, which is probably my favorite Celestion.

For that kind of money, I would just put killer speakers in the MX212. That is what I did. I put in Eminence Wheelhouse 150's, changed the jack in the back to a OEM Marshall stereo/mono jack and added Ernie Ball coasters when I got the JC120H. The JC120H is 60 watts per side I knew I was bound to blow the stock speakers in the MX212 if I didn't change them and wired the cab for stereo. It is now the best cab I have ever owned or played. That being said the MX212 sounded great stock.

Re: Randall Cab

I've never used those speakers in anything.
Sorry I can't help out there.

K100s are supposed to be similar to Hot 100s. I have Hot 100s in my 90s Green Matamp cab and it's my favorite cab for guitar. I also love Guinness and cats.

Re: Randall Cab

It's made of mdf like the MX. If you want a better sounding cab you'd be better off looking for a cab made of real wood, should be able to find an Avatar or something for around the same $ if you are patient.

That is a myth. The differences in wood species and cab sound are minimal. There is nothing offending about the sound of a MDF cab. No ever walked out of a show or turned off a recording because of the poor quality in a MDF cab's sound. Some people might even prefer the sound over real wood, if they can even hear a difference.

Re: Randall Cab

I apologize, you are correct, there are some good sounding cabs made of mdf. It is different from "wood" cabinets in that it is a heavy material and doesn't have much resonance so what you hear is pretty much the straight speaker sound, which can be a good thing. There have been some companies that have made very high end cabs from mdf and they were insanely heavy.

As this line is the low end of the Randall line, I wouldn't invest that much in it, I would prefer to get a birch ply cab, but since that is my opinion take it for what it is worth.

Re: Randall Cab

My issue with MDF cabs is transport and durability. As devastone said they're heavier than a comparable plywood cab, and they tend to fall apart if you knock them around.

What a deal! Grab it.

Re: Randall Cab

I have a really similar cab with Greenbacks. Good cab, small and light, casters suck, the smaller dimensions won't give you too much low end.
