Not able to try out different options currently, so I thought you fine gentlemen might share your thoughts on the following:
If you are hobby home player, would you still consider 2x12 cab better than 1x12? Since the price difference is not that big I am leaning towards 2x12. However, would there be any big difference when playing at home?
Which speakers? I am probably looking at classical Vintage 30, but I don't know if cab size would make a difference.
Amp in question: Engl Ironball. Desired tone: classic thrash metal, but also some downtuned stuff (DT, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost).
cheers
UPDATE:
Decided to go with a 2x12 Engl cab. I was on the fence between this and Marshall Silver Jubilee 2x12. Couldn't try out, so had to trust the opinion of the seller, that Engl's are clearer for high gain sounds.
