Old square-backed cabinets

It kills.
No issues ever with it.

So the original SVT 8x10 only handled 250 watts? When paired with the original SVT as intended, how does it stand up volume-wise to more modern rigs? Can you rev up the SVT without speaker issues?

Sure. I don't know if you could run a 1000w power amp with them, but they take well over 250w. I think that was an excuse to sell two cabs with every head back then.

Not sure if there is a difference in internal volume. The later slant back cabs are 48-1/2" in height , while the square backs are 46-1/2" in height. I think the difference (if any) might be more due to other factors, particularly the drivers.

Ya, most likely the internal volume would equal a tradeoff, or so I would think. Definitely the speakers.
