2x12 cabs - Mesa or EVH . Which would you choose?

Careful with the EVH 2x12...the hardware is very cheap on them. If you replace the speakers do so with extreme caution. In fact, just replace the hardware if you swap speakers. You'll be far happy in the long run. Otherwise...they were the best sounding 2x12 I have tried.

Can you elaborate on this?
What hardware is cheap?
Why does one need to be careful (more than usual) when replacing the speakers?

The T Nuts will pop out. The screws strip super easy. Just poor hardware. The cabinet is built good...but the hardware used is suspect at best.

The mesa. Best cabs out there. The EVH is cheap mexican made gear. The fact that the price is similiar is a crime.

Mesa. I don't care for speakers running at 16 ohms.

Ive always thought 8ohm sounded the best myself.
