Fortunately for you, these days there are a good number of amazing sounding cabs well under 65lbs

Yes, the search function is amazing.

OK St Stephen:
Give us some more info to work with here.

What's your budget?
Tone Goals?

I have (2) Epifani UL-115 cabs that weigh in at 34 pounds each, and sound great for MY needs. I play mainly classic rock, and like a nice deep tone that cuts. I don't slap, and just play finger style.

So help us out here.

+1. You'll never see a big box cab with a sub 40lb 2-15". You do PAY for the technology, but if you have a good sized budget and want the lowest weight possible, you won't have much other competition for the perfomance vs wieght category.

Agreed. It's basically a 2-12 in a 1-12 package... and it works. And I've never needed more than one for even my loudest gigs.

I saw two nice-looking Aguilar SL112s at GC in the used department the other day. Light as can be! But spendy...$500 each!! Used! Really??

Those who have 'em, worth the dough?

GK NEO 212 is... 56 pounds, and is a generally killer cabinet

I'm very impressed by my EBS NeoLine 212s - very loud, very high-fi, and 53lbs - but they're damned expensive in the US. If by some miracle you come across one used, it is definitely worth checking out.

Still gigging my pair and love 'um. Although, I'm awful curious about the new Bergantino CN112s.

I agree. I built a couple of my own fairly large 2x15 cabs (36x24x15) and they came out to 46lbs each which I still consider very lightweight. I used Kappalite 3015's in one and Faital 15PR400's in the other. IMO, both of them sound great and can play really loud if I ever need them to.
