Bogner 4x12 vs. Bogner O/S 2x12?

[Ian1eh]

Hey Guys,

For those of you who have both of these cabinets, or have demoed both at the same time, what did you find to be the differences between the two?

I'm leaning toward the straight 4x12 for the extra "oomph", but perhaps the 2x12 is enough?

Thanks!!

Get a straight 4x12 bogner. You will never need another cab.

Thanks guys!

Is there a difference tone-wise between the straight vs. slant 4x12's?

There is a mint slant 4x12 for sale locally......would save me having to ship a straight cab from the US.

Thanks for the help!

Yes, definitely a difference. Slant cabs tend to accent the mids differently, and don't have the same "thump" straight cabs do. IMO, slant cabs sound better.

Well after having my new Bogner 4x12 I reviewed here for a while, I decided to get another cabinet for recording purposes. Since my studio is in my basement and the air conditioning does not work down there, I bought a second Bogner 4x12. The problem is, since it is so hot in the basement in summer, we run a bunch of fans. The mics pick up the fan noise and make a wooshing noise. So I got a second Bogner 4x12 to put in another room to record with. So I play and use the original cabinet so I can hear myself and use the second cabinet to record with. HERE IS THE PROBLEM...I purchased a slant cabinet the first time, figuring it was the thing to do. Then when I went to get a second cabinet, they only had straight cabinets in stock. Since I liked the look of the slant better, I was disappointed, but figured who cares, it is a recording cabinet. The sales person told me that a straight cabinet sounds fuller and would record better anyway, since it would not have the phase cancelization problems slant cabinets create. So I bought the straight cabinet. Well I got home and hooked it up, to my disappointment, IT SOUNDS A LOT BETTER, than my slant cabinet does. The bummer is, I ordered my slant cabinetin a custom color, so I got it now for better or worse. The straight cabinet is much fuller and does not have the upper midrange dominance the slant seems to possess.

I have both and no the 2X12 does not offer what the 4X12 has. The 2X12 is good though. Having both means the 2X12 sees very little action.

I have both- G-backs in the 4x12, Scumback M75's in the 2x12- and even though there's not much difference in size, the 4x12 is fuller and punchier. Although I'd put the OS2x12 up against almost any other 4x12 on the market. I love to stack 'em up when I can.
