Avatar makes great cabs, and every once in a while I see a used one for sale. If you decide to go new, look into them. Excellent construction, and a wide variety of speaker choices.

Those Orange 2x12 cabs are awesome. I used to play in a band with a guy who had one and it had a huge sound. They work great with Marshall heads.

Marshall 1960 is a 4x12. I thought you wanted a 2x12? Not sure what the current construction material is.

Hell, yeah! i believe you.. i had one Orange 1x12 Cab for home use, and it's a bomb with my Blackstar HT-5 ! but to get Orange 2x12 it's quite the same price as i would get Marshall 4x12 1960 A cabinet. so it sure is a good cab, but an expensive one..

I wish i could get some Avatar cab... i'll look at ebay, and maybe i'll find something used at lower price. i believe those Avatar cabs are the real deal ! and they looks awesome.. but, i am from europe, and those cabs are available to order only from U.S.:scratchch someone correct me, if i am wrong..

^^^Ah, didn't know that you were in Europe. US and Canada is a snap. They will work with you to ship elsewhere, but it sounds like it will get pricey.

You could check out whether there are any cab makers in your country. Zilla cabs have a great reputation and some great looking products. They are in the UK but their web site says they ship to Europe: http://www.zillacabs.com/index.php

If you can find an old Laney cab from the 80s..usually pretty cheap, and probably easier to find in Europe. I am not a big fan of the amps, but I had two of their cabs BITD, and they were well built, reasonably priced and their 4x12 was lighter than my Marshall 4x12s.

Edit- they had a 3/4 or so size 2x12 speakers diagonal. Had one, big punchy thing...nearly as much as the 4x12.

Hey ! i will have to add another question about tube selection for that amp... are JJ ECC 83 power and JJ EL 34 in preamp good enough? once again, i play a lot of classic rock/blues, and a lot of heavy/thrash metal. are JJ's good for that ?
