Ashdown MAG vs ABM cabs ?

[ciubz]

Did anyone A/B them? Is there any difference except for the power rating? Thank you

One is made in China, and the other in the UK. At least, it was like that some years ago.

I'm not sure about the newer models, but I did a comparison between the two a few years ago and the ABM is made of Birch and the MAG is made of MDF.

I would honestly go for the ABM. If price is a concern, they pop up often on eBay for good prices.

Pretty big sound difference, the ABM cabs are much better quality. I have three of the US made Ashdown cabs (a step up from the ABM cabs), a 2x10, a 4x10 and a 1x15, they all sound good and have neo speakers in them. Getting rid of the 4x10 and 1x15 though...
