The ACC Acoustic 420 series cabs are very rare ... slightly bigger than the 360 and 301 cabs the 420 had EVM 15L speakers rather than the CV 18s very efficient I power it with an old Acoustic 140 that's pumping 70 watts at 8ohms which is what the cab is rated

Concerning the Fender Neo 115 , buyer beware , although the description of the sound quality is very accurate, the weight on my new cabinet from GC was in the 50 pound range. Had to return it. Fender finally updated the specs on their webpage. Pretty heavy for a Neo cab ?

True. I forgot that I returned the 2nd one I bought. It was up near 62lbs when the advert hard on the actual cab when I bought it started under 50lbs or sumthin.
To cut a long story... I returned the cab to my local dealer and bought an earlier serial no of the same cab - 2nd hand. This new one is under 50lbs as my original one is also.
Fender stated that they changed the wood and..... hadn't changed the advertising blurb
Anyway, both mine are lightweight and sound great, so I'm happy

I have two SWR Golight 15s. They are light, loud and sound amazing. 42 pounds each.

Used to run a pair of the Boogie 15 EV-loaded cabs. Those were amazing in a very different way. The SWRs, like all SWR stuff, sound very "hifi". The Boogies did not.

I'm beginning to think I'll never find a micro head that I like but the majority of weight of one's rig is in the cabs and I'm about as light as I can get.

Lightweight, incredibly articulate, and can absolutely pound.

I bet that sounds wonderful.

... What is your favorite 15” Speaker Cabinet and why?

Sunn 2000S 2x15" cab. It's incredibly loud but not muddy at all and quite clear sounding.

Yep!
Especially with a Sunn 2000s amp!

Ive been contemplating a Fender neo 115. Do you like it by itself? or better in pairs?

I suggest a pair to get your tone/volume up closer to ear level. Better stage volume and you're able to adjust your tone more accurately, IME. Plus, modular rig for various size venues.

Carvin MB15 200w combo amp with neo speaker, plus their 115MBE ext box making 250w, also with neo, because I needed a powerful rig for outdoor gigs, and they were on sale for $805 shipped. I have to say, they're kickass.

Nice rig! Cool bass. Love your short-scales axes!

Energy 115. Full range bad-assery. Still kicking myself for not getting 2 when I had the chance to pick them up for $75 each. Even so it sounds great on its own. Only downside is 75lbs.

The best sounding (to my ears) 115 cab I have ever owned was a Berg HT-115 (chrome grill). I had a stacked pair of those and they absolutely ROCKED!

I'm still trying to locate the malfunctioning neuron in my brain that convinced me to sell that stack!

it was the weight for me....and the madness of divorce

Eden David-series D115.
Because it combines modern clarity (without going into "hi-fi" boom/tinkle territory) with old skool vibe, and is reasonably lightweight.
