| I know the OP paired the 6.2 head with a original Shuttle 12T cabinet, but I wanted to share my experience with the 6.2-12T combo, with the second gen cabinet.
I picked up a store demo 6.2-12T in December last year and threw it right into the fire of a theatre performance weekend. For reasons of conserving space, I had been using my Carvin B500-10 combo, which was getting the job done very well. Bringing in the 6.2-12T was night and day difference, with just a bit larger footprint. Huge sound! My drummer came over and looked at the amp, just agape at the sound that was coming out of a tiny combo. I'm not even sure if the speaker was broken in yet- I have no idea how much it'd been played at this store.
I've been so impressed with the combo that I broke down last week and bought a barely-used 12T extension cabinet. It's on the vehicle for delivery with FedEx as I type this. Can't wait to hear the sound of the "Ed Friedland stack". I anticipate playing just about all my theatre gigs with the combo, throwing in the extension for any larger venues or if I just want the amp to cruise.
I was thinking I'd want to sell the 6.2 head and swap in a 9.2, but I honestly don't think I need the extra watts. I'm very pleased with the 6.2 combo.
The list on these two pieces together is well over $1800, but I ended up with about $1100 in it, shipped, so I think I got a reasonably good deal on the stack. This is an amp setup that will take care of my performance needs probably until I'm tired of playing, years from now.
