All cabs with STOCK speakers.
 
Just to clarify...you need one cab to run with all the amps in your list?
 
yes

imagine you own all of those amps and you can only afford one cab from the list.

you must use that cab with all of those amps.
 
Anything that I ever put through the diezel cabs really made it sound much tighter and more focused.
 
Not on the list, but every single amp that I have ever run through my Mojo 4x12 has sounded quite excellent.
 
I would NOT get a Mesa Stiletto Cab. They are very unfocused in the mids compared to the Oversized cab. A shootout was done on one of the other forums I frequent and the difference is huge.

Get a Mills Acoustics Afterburner412B, those things are brootal.
 
Not on your list. Check out a Marshall handwired with G12H-30's. Best Cabinet I've ever owned. I've had a Diezel Rear Load and a Bogner rear load as well as an Egnater 2x12. The Marshall was the best. And I've played through an Einstein and an XTC through all of them.

I don't think you will be disappointed.
 
Anything I put throug ha Diezel FL sounds like a lazer beam with zero resonance.

I picked Bogner Trad straight, but I recommend Emperor. :rock:

I know the Sneap forum loves to talk about their oversized recto cabs, but when I heard the cabinets in person, the Trad. was a lot tighter and more focused. The oversized cab sounded bigger but more unfocused.
 
Mills Acoustics Afterburner is the correct choice. Barring that, I'd go with a Bogner Uberkab.
 
So do you own all of these amps and what style of music do you play?

IMO one cab is not a choice if you own all of those amps.

The traditional is quite boxy compared to the oversized. Different cabs for different lads, but still. I think of everything how it sounds in front of a microphone (which is most important to me). The oversized definitely puts out more in front of a microphone. Mesa cabs in general have specially voiced V30's that get rid of the ice-picky mids that can hurt sometimes.

I own an Avatar contemporary 4x12 as well. They're awesome.

What do you mean Mesa cabs have "specially voiced V30's"? My recto 212 has regular old English V30's. Are the new ones coming with different speakers?
 
Bogner straight is the best Ive heard so far. Ive heard nothing but great things about Diezels though.

This is backwards. I compared the oversized vs. the traditional and the oversized is much more unfocused and boomy. The traditional is much tighter.
