Looking for the best sounding 2x12. Orange? Mesa? Bogner?
 
I like my Mesa Rectifier 2x12 Horizontal cab. Haven't tried out too many other 2x12s, but I like my Mesa enough that I really have no desire to.
 
I think my Bogner OS (WGSs) has been the best for me so far, you might be diff though, all of my amps sound great thru it. :rock:
 
Bogner 2x12 OS or an Avatar 2x12 OS are two that have caught my eye for sure!
 
My top 3 I tried out were (no particular order)

- Bogner OS 2x12
- Orange 2x12
- Scumback 2x12

I went with the scumback because I liked the ability to go open with the hinge on the back, i found it a good compromise with the characteristics of the other cabs.
All winners in my opinion!
 
Mesa 2x12 is cool but I was actually surprised by the Engl 2x12 pro. I thought it sounded better than the Engl Pro 4x12 I have now. Lots of thick mids without being woofy or spiky. Frontload speakers give a more accurate representation of what the mic is going to hear-to my ears, anyway.
 
Bogner OS was my fav!

Others that I liked:

Mills
Orange
Mesa Horizontal Recto (still own-loaded it with Weber 65w Legacies)
Splawn
 
Gonna get a lot of opinions here, but so far my Splawn 2x12 w/Celestion Creambacks beats out both my Recto 2x12 and Fryette Deliverance 2x12 by a long shot.

Click to expand...

I agree. They are big sounding and smooth with the right bite to cut through the mix.
 
CAA for me...I like it much better than the Oranges, Marshalls, Mesas, and Bogners (among others) that I've had/tried...clearly "bigger" sounding in my experience.
 
"The best" threads are my favorite.

Personally, I love vanilla bean with caramel syrup and sprinkled with salted peanuts.
