Scored this from a local bro. Loaded with Eminence Guvnors and ManOWars. Can’t believe the deal I got on it. Absolutely fantastic sounding Cab.

I loved my Avatar when I had it and Man O Wars seem under-rated.

Congrats - looks tough as nails. They are built well.
 
These fly under the radar and sound killer. I’m sure with the eminences the cab sounds huge. Congrats and great score!
 
My avatar classic is my favorite cab… not sure if it’s because it’s in a roadcase but it sounds killer….
 
Nice. I've had a handful of Avatar cabs over the years, and they all sound great. Their big Orange based 212 is awesome.
 
A place my band used to rehearse at had an Avatar 2x12 that I would use when I was there. That cab sounded great with every amp I brought with me.
I can't remember the speakers that were in it - I just remember that they were 2 different ones. Brain is shot. I'm a big help.:rolleyes:

Great cab and speakers!! I've got a Peavey 412MS cab with X pattern Guvnors and Man-O-War speakers in it. The speakers came out of a Splawn cab I bought used from GC that I eventually replaced with 25 watt greenbacks. When I got the Splawn cab, it was marked as a 16 ohm cab on the back, but had those 8 ohm Eminence speakers in it.. Even had magic marker notes written on the inside from when it was ordered showing it was supposed to have 16 ohm Guv/MOW. Appears that they loaded the right make/model of speaker, but the wrong impedance and was probably that way for years until I swapped the speakers out.
 
I have 2 avatar 1 12s.
Very well made and well priced

One with an ET65 the other with an early 90s JCM 900
.

I got rid of my two 4 12 marshall bottoms because i cant lift them anymore and just stack these.
 
Cool. I love my Avatar cab, it sounds very 3D to my ears. It's the vintage model that looks a lot like a Bogner cab. I feel fortunate that I got a 4x12 before they discontinued the 4x12 cabs, they only make 1x12 and 2x12 cabs now.
 
I have two of the 4x12s, and I kinda want another.
 
I have one of these Contemporary 4x12’s, very clear sounding, not much resonance, removing the center brace was an improvement.

I also have the Traditional 4x12 straight and slant. They’re much more resonant than the Contemporary. The slant is my favorite of the 3 but the Traditional straight is maybe the best cab for recording I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned a lot of cabs.
 
I wish they still made 412 cabs.....

I have always been curious about those Man o Wars. I have been loving the Swamp Thangs lately.
