Probably since 10's has a higher resonating frequency, and therefore are thinner and cleaner sounding than 12's.
And not many people i know wants a cleaner tone from their cabs anyway...

Re: Why aren't 4x10 cabinets more popular?
eh.....how does a higher Fo affect how 'clean' a speaker sounds? I thought this had more to do with harmonic distortion and power handling....
I'd say that the 4x10 is out b/c
1. pro musicians who like the 10" sound usually have 8x10 cabs
2. 2 2x10's are easier to move around for gigs
3. lots of people prefer a 2x10 with a 1x15 (i personally do)
4. a 2x10 or 1x15 will easily work in most gig situations (if not you could use the p.a.)

My guess is that they don't really have that of the Rock and Roll look/sound.

Not many amps nowadays are designed with a 4x10 cab in mind.

I prefer 10" speakers, and was quite dismayed to find that avatar discontinued their line

Well, my fault.
My point is that a bigger speaker membrane will produce more breakup, and therefore won't sound so clean.

A bass player in my old band had one of Alex Lifesons ealy 80's Marshall cabs and it had 4 10's i think..... it was a Guitar cab but he used it for bass..... On the back was spray painted RUSH Stage Left...... I wanted that cab but he is such a huge Rush fan there is no way he'll part with it.
