I'm looking for something that can super safely handle a 500ish watt head at 8 ohms (so actually putting out around 300 or 350 watts I would guess), I don't have any requirements for weight and size though the less heft the better, obviously. I don't know what head I'll be pairing with it, but as I'm windowshopping for my first real rig, getting an idea of what to look for would help.
Right now the frontrunner is a ceramic magnet Avatar because of the good things I've heard and because I don't have to worry about it being voiced for a specific head (this is a cab I want to keep around for a long time, or until I have much more money, at least). Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated.

GK's mb cabs are too but they have diagonal driver placement and need a little modding with some bracing and lining. There's a whole thread on that here somewhere. Cheap, easy, can do it in an afternoon. Doesn't fix the driver placement thing though. |

Didn't know about the Carvins, though, thanks people

Wouldn't have been my first choice if buying new, but to be honest, I can't complain about how its working out for me so far. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
