Thanks for all the great recommendations! I decided to give the V-Boutique V Cube 2x12 a shot. It's about the size of the largest 1x12's like the KSR, but I'm hoping it sounds even bigger. If anyone else is interested, this cab is currently on sale through Reverb. I'm sending them a stereo jack...

Those KSR 1x12's are huge. Looks like the V-Boutique 2x12 Cube is even an inch narrower. I'd have to think the 2x12 would sound bigger, but perhaps 2 12 inch speakers crammed into an enclosure could sound just as boxy?

Yes indeed, and it was a great setup on many levels. In the end I just felt like it wasn't the best fit for me. Gear whores are always looking for excuses!!

Thanks for all the input! I should have clarified that I play mainly hard rock, metal, and ambient clean tones. I realize at the end of the day I'll just need to experiment, but it's hard to know where to begin. Honestly it may come down to what I can find locally as I'm not too keen on buying...

As much as I dislike 1x12's, I am needing some small/portable cab(s) for travel, possibly a pair stacked or separated for a stereo rig. I have tried a number of different 1x12's in the past, and after much disappointment I gave up and have been carting around 4x12's for years. Totally worth it...

Those look awesome, and will make a great xmas present!

Good catch, yeah I re-discovered this clip from a couple winters ago. Sadly, I have since sold the Carstens Grace. I got in on the first run, and after the fact confirmed that for my needs I absolutely needed an effects loop. I emailed back and forth with Brian asking if he would add one, and to...

Haha, I know right! My wife was recording and I guess got scared and pressed stop. Pretty evil tones so I can understand lol. Rest assured I turn down when my daughter's around, but sometimes she sneaks up on me!

Nothing too serious here folks, just a dad turning knobs in the basement. Carstens Grace with a Buxom Boost in front, into a Suhr Reactive Load, then line out to a VHT 2150 and EVH 412. Little Ellie knows what's up!

13 thanks man!

Thanks, I was also hoping you could elaborate on how the amp sounds? What styles do you play, and how does this stack up for tight metal rhythms? Boost or no boost?

Nice! Please elaborate, I just got the email...

I've been through many speakers, and the M65's have consistently been my overall favorite. Some speakers do certain things better, but to me they sound like a superior greenback. I tried hard to like the EVH greenbacks but ultimately dumped them. Not a fan of the H75. Mesa V30's can sound good...

I agree T75s or Redbacks on bottom, M65s on top. Both killer combos!

So tempting!

So cool, happy 4th to all!

Looking forward to your initial impressions...I have my eye on a local one as well.

Just curious if you have seen the guts and can confirm this is the case, or if you are just assuming based on the tones here?

I picked one of these up from Guitar Center and I gotta say...I'm impressed. At volumes under about 95db it actually hangs with my bigger heads. Plenty full and warm like you'd expect from bigger bottles. I've only owned one EL84 based amp prior to this, so I don't have much experience but this...

My favorite setup for this so far is running my chosen amp into the Suhr Reactive Load IR, hi cut on, then line out into my 2150. The double impedance curves will naturally scoop your tone a bit, so an EQ between the SRL and poweramp is helpful for fine tuning. This setup left the Power Station...
