looking for the skinny on engl cabs? the pro v60s... vs the diezel cabs? whatever info availble.... tnx cj
 
the Engls are great cabs; built really well except the tolex is pretty thin and they are HEAVY AS HELL- maybe overbuilt to an extent. sort of stiff and directional sounding but super tight. the Diezel cabs are very nice as well- very similar to a Mesa built wise; def above average. a little more relaxed sounding....

i would go V30 before V60; i really like V30s but not everyone does...
 
I have gone through a lot of cabs. I have kept 3. The Mesa recto, VHT Fatbottom and the Engl pro XXL. (if you could'nt tell from my sig. The engl and mesa are V30 equiped.

Mesa looser on bottom

Engl tighter on bottom

both cool cabs. Both bring good mids and highs as well. Have not compared to Diezel though. Don't think you could go wrong with the pro series. They are heavy as fuck as stated earlier.

What do v60s sound like
When I tried the V60 cab the speakers reminded me of G12T75's. Big highs, big lows, soft and relaxed midrange. Not an extremely lively speaker.
Keep in mind that the V30 Pro cab is all birch ply, while the V60 Standard cab is reportedly both ply and MDF board.

v30s save lives
 
Fantastic cabinet. Best cabinet I've played through. I haven't played through a Diezel however.

Played a gig with someone's V30/V60 ENGL Pro cab, awesome.
 
Another thing to add on the Engl cabs is the straight cab sounds much better than the angled one.
 
I see there is Pro xxl and pro

pro xxl 29x33x15

pro 29x29.5x14

which are you guys using? does pro xxl get woofy? is it like comparing recto standard and recto oversize?

XXL DOES NOT GET WOOFY OR FLUBBY. It remains tight and focused. Mesa is definatley more flubby on bottom end. I like them both in different situations but if push came to shove the Engl would win. Great fucking cab (XXL) :rock:

I use the XXL. Not woofy at all IMHO. Here's me playing the DAR forza through the EnglXXL.

 
is engl pro xxl front loaded??? i read that on a harmony central review
 
The price difference is significant as well...

Are Diezel cabs better than ENGL?

For the same money which one would you get, assuming you can't sell the cab and turn a profit LOL...

Anyone want to trade for a diezel fl k100s mint new cab
You're bumping your head on this one. That newer German Diezel cab you have is tough to beat, and is probably the best cab on the market.
 
yea, how much you want for the Diezel cab? It's straight right?
