I had a stack of Mesa Diesel cabs, and they sounded amazing IMO (we all know tone is a personal preference thing). I A/B'd them with several other 15's and they did it for me. I did end up selling them only because they are heavy. I had back surgery years ago and it's flaring up a bit again, and I don't want to repeat it. If the weight doesn't bother you, they are great cabs that be had for a good price.
