Cab choice

[mikgag]

If you could choose between ONLY the following 2 cabs as a standalone for playing in 2 bands, #1 = rock, #2 = drop D metal, which would you choose?

price, size and weight are NOT a factor.

Avatar B212 Neo

Traynor YBX1510

My head is the Yorkville XS400

Probably the Avatar. I don't play any drop D metal though so I'm not sure how it would be with that. I think if size, price and weight are not a factor I'd go with something more high end than those two, good as they are for the price.

For my taste and with lower tunings the Avatar runs out of excursion earlier than I like. Can you try the Traynor? I haven't heard that cab but in PA Yorkville really seems to know what they are doing.

I don't quite play your style, im a Classic rock, Electric Jazz/Jazz Fusion guy who also plays worship music as well,
but I always found 12 inch speakers to be the best of all worlds, especially in numbers! A 2X12 is an awesome cabinet!
The outright best setup for you would be a 1X15 with a 2X12 or 1X12. The downside of 2X12's is the price! They usually run about $700-$800.

Just for future reference if someone does a search, I A/B'd both cabs today and did the trade. The Yorkville killed the Avatar. I have nothing bad to say about the Avatar as it served me well and was my third Avatar to date, but it was no contest.
