EVH 412 vs Splawn 412 ??

[wizardy]

I'd like to know your thought on this one
I have a Splawn nitro AND an EVH 5150 III 100 watts which i'm currently using with a mesa OS road king cab.
I wanna buy a new 4x12 so which one between the evh or the splawn will sound the best with both amps ??

I know the perfect match would be each head with their own cab but if i only wanna buy one cab for those 2 heads which one would you choose ??

The Splawn is built like a tank just got a 4x12 loaded with cream backs awesome build for the money

I kinda like gb heritage more than SB's...
I think the quality of cabs is great in both...

I have no experience with the EVH cabs but my 2 Splawn 2x12 cabs with Celestion Creambacks slay. Best cabs I've owned. I like them better than my Fryette D212 and Recto 212 hands down.

EVH G12s are relabeled Celestion Greenback Heritage 75hz 25watters.
Best newly built greenback cab. Period.

I think the Splawn is more picky with the speakers you use so I might get the Splawn cabinet with small block or creamback so it would be the perfect match for the Nitro and I could easily dial a good tone through it with the 5153 also?

I've had them both side by side..I kept the splawn. IMO the cabinet itself (forget about speakers for a min ) is a better built ..better sounding cab that projects much more evenly throughout a room. The Evh cab that I had would project like a laser beam in front and get lost in a live mix everywhere else.

For me how a cab reacts in a live situation was what mattered most.. The Evh cab is darker and maybe a bit smoother/fatter sounding..The Splawn is clearer tighter brighter and more open. I prefer the splawn and would suggest celestions over the emi small block..I've tried a bunch of speakers in the splawn including the sb's.

The creambacks are a great speaker for sure. They seem to have more top end cut to me over the EVH speakers which are a bit darker. Both are really nice though.

Anyone tried the creamback with a splawn nitro
Yet ?

I am sure SOMEONE has. In fact, I'd almost guarantee it.
