I agree, super sexy indeed. I am gassing for a 2x12 and 1x12 myself. That old school toltex and grill cloth looks really nice

I bought the Bugera after my main Ampeg amp went down. It was a situation were i needed it quick to get through some gigs. Im very impressed with the amp. I did switch the cheap 12ax7 tubes with some Tung sol...it made a huge difference in my gain and warmth. I highley recommend it. Sounds fabulous with the Avatar cab!

i'm sure it can. i have an older avatar 410 kappa that has ridiculous handling capacity. i've played some powerful amps into it at high volumes and it never even seems to break a sweat.

The Avatar 410 cabs are rated to handle 1,000 watts RMS, so I'd say they can handle the power of the Bugera...

Avatar cabs are rated to handle 1000 watts, but boost your bass +6db and watch them handle about 300 watts

Very, very pretty indeed.

How blonde is the blonde?
From all the pics I saw, especiall on the Avatar site, it looked like it had a very "manila folder" look to it. But I see yours and it sort of pales out a to bit to almost a birch plywood hue?

I went Tweed becaue of the uncertainty.

JMac, I can say that especially for the lighter colours like Blonde or Tweed, the Oxblood is a very dressy looking grill, but the Black and Silver also has it's charms

Looks awesome.... but more importantly how's it sound? I'm very interested in these cabs and almost ready to pull the trigger.

I've never had the first problem with my avatar neos.
But I did have to allow them some break in time. Worth the
short wait tho. I use mine with MB 400 + and an Ampeg
3 Pro.
I have no problem with the tone great mid and even better
low end. I don't really care for the tweet tho.
