I owned a wt800 in the past and really loved the sound so I am hoping this compares to that somewhat. I also need to buy a cab now. 2x10?

What are you going to play, with what size bands, at what size venues, and at what volume levels?

Two 2x10's will make for an easily mobile rig with the ability to take one or both depending on what you need.

Stick with a 4x10, a 2x10 is very limiting

How much? Anyway, now that you have gobs of power and flexibility, any nice cab will do. There are so many out there. How much do you want to spend? Do you want a rig you will be able to play out in the future? How important is portability?

Awesome! For now, dial in some good tone settings using a good pair of headphones, and keep an eye out for good cab deals. A pair of decent 2x10s, 1x12s, or 1x15s would be nice, depends on your preference.

If you won't have to move it (much ) and want killer sound and a cab that will sound great at home or allow you to fill a medium sized bar with booty: Avatar TB153 (450 delivered and the best deal out there IMO-avatarspeakers.com ...this'll take about a month to get, but with your amp it will demolish buildings and rupture spleens with ease.....really... 65 lbs). Otherwise SWR Golight 115 (45 lbs, 649 delivered off eBay brand new. There are many other choices....just my .02

I ended up buying a Bag End Q10BX-D. It's a 410 with coaxial tweeter on the top right driver. It's an absolutely killer cab with outrageous power handling. I certainly can recommended Bag End. They go for super cheap if you buy used. I snagged a $1000 cab for $350.
