Marshall Cabs cost more than Bogner Cabs??

[lespaul6]

As a dealer, I was furious to see the gigantic price increase as of Jan 1. I was proud of Orange, again as a dealer, for not following suit, and they just announced this week that their UK based gear is all basically doubling in cost. While I love both lines, $6-$7k for a half stack is ridiculous

Terrible news.... but I bet friedman and bogner etc are loving this scenario.. how could they not

Yea,, Marshall is done in the USA now... only the cheap crap is affordable- MG series etc. The party is over

It’s been that way in the US with Marshall since 2013/14. Only recently have new 1960 cabs dropped below $1600 here. 10yrs ago a new 2203x cost $3k+

Was just browsing cabinets and saw that Marshall 4x12s retail for $300 more than Bogner 4x12. What madness is this?

if anyone wants to pay $1600 for a 4x12 by all means go ahead....hahaha

that price is $1099 at Sweetwater and they will deal. Not saying that's cheap, but it ain't $1600

Marshall BVs are better than ubekcab imo . Worth the price . But that’s for me . Other might feel different . I only keep my ubekcab becasue with my Wizards it’s unreal . But other than that it’s not pairing well with my other amps . For me

They made that post three years ago when that was the advertised price.

Marshall is imported while Bogner is not. If you check prices on Thomann, you'll see Marshall 1960s for $575.

Also the cabs are Made in England.

The US Marshall prices went down a couple years ago. New Marshall 1960 cabs were over $1600 for 10yrs before that.

I just picked up another mint slant 1960 for $300

It's a ghetto cheap ass thing. Too cheap and lazy to use quality hardware... I avoid any cabs that come stock with these trash T-screws/nuts. Straight up garbage.

And speaker wire with slide on spade connectors... another hallmark of craptastic craftsmanship.

My Avatar cab has those slide on spade connectors. I find it very convenient for swapping speakers. Love that cab too. Wouldn't call it craptastic craftmanship at all.
