Which combo: SWR Super Redhead or GK 1001RB-II Neo 2x12

Which would you chose and why?

The SWR is a more clean brittle hifi sort of sound, the GK is warmer and fatter, which is my preference. I tried to like SWR (I had three of 'em), although I still use an SWR speaker cab which is great.

Not exactly an "even-up" comparison...

The GK combo offers a LOT more power. Plus significantly more speaker cone area...

GK heads are great with swr cabs. I really never cared for the red heads on gigs that had a back line. Little brittle sounding or too much low end. I love my 700rbII through my home built 2x12 cab though.

Anyone else?

We have an SWR red head where we rehearse and I hate it. i can't get a good sound out of it. it sounds very scooped to me. i bring my own amp.

Gk all the way.

I kinda like the SWR Super Redhead, but given the choice of one or the other I'd go for the GK. If I were adding to my current collection, it would be the Redhead. I've got GK covered.
