Anyone using Marshall 1960 AV or BV cabs?

[Sirloin]

Tough to find much actual information out there about these cabs with the Celestion Marshall G12 Vintage Speakers. Anyone actually using these cabs with a 2203 JCM800 or similar? I decided to bite the bullet and ordered one to try with my reissue 2203s. Currently using a Guitar Cabinets Direct late 60s style cab with reissue Greenbacks. Looking for a different flavor.

I’ve owned two of the B versions and they are f’ing killer in my book. I just sold one from 1990, which I’m told is the first year those speakers came out in 16 ohm. I kept the speakers and sold the cab empty, only to downsize.

I love them.

If you are buying new, I would go for the BV IMO. The A cabs are brighter, and the 800 reissue is already a bright amp.

I use an AV with an old 2204 and a Recto. My favorite cab. It sounded awful brand new but broke in nicely.

I have a AC with greenbacks and prefer the AV, which is more "syrupy" and tighter. It's brighter I guess than the AC but also more polished sounding if that makes sense.
