Should I Sell My Soldano 4x12

I bought a Soldano 4X12 to have a matching 1/2 stack for my SLO100.
Bought new, paid $1300.

It was too much for home playing in stock form, with all V30s. Swapping out 2 V30s for 2 Scumback BM75LDs in an X pattern made the cab easier to play at home, and more musical.

Still, the Marshall 4x12 with all GBs is my go-to. Easier to tolerate at home, sounds great with all my amps.
I'll never play either cab outside of the house.

Have an offer to sell the Soldano cab loaded with 2 V30s for $600. It'd free up some space, but I'd miss having a matching 1/2 stack. Dont think I've seen anyone playing an SLO with a Soldano cab.

So...?
 
If you really need the money and you already play the Marshall more anyways, yes. But if you don't need the money, you could swap out the speakers to something really different.

Or split the difference. Move the greenbacks into the Soldano cab and maybe sell the Marshall. I've read that the SLO was voiced for greenbacks anyways.

Don't need the $, but downsizing, more space are goals this year.

I like the GBs in the Marshall more than the Soldano cab. The Soldano has more detail and projection. The Marshall has more vibe, for lack of a better term.

Can't argue with that. When something is right, no sense messing with it.
 
Up to you but $600 seems a little low, though its likely most of the offers will be on the low end right now.

Yeah it does seem low. Hard to tell though. The used market seems bad right now, and 4x12s are always tough to sell. But on the other had certain cabs should retain their value better, and a SLO cab is definitely one.

4x12s are a tough sell in any market, and especially specialty brands. Thus the price, which I agree is lower than I like. But GC sells em fully loaded used for $800ish.
That thought is why I made this post. Like, why not just keep it? Space be damned.
