Orange question

If you're looking for a cab that 'pops' and play complicated proggy lines, you might appreciate a good 2 or 3-way with a mid driver. Favorites include the Baer ML series, fEARfuls, fEARlesses, LDS, Xsonics, Carvin (LS1503 is a decent cab on the cheap) and probably half a dozen others I'm forgetting about. Some of these are a bit pricy, but I think you can meet your 2k budget with the Orange and pretty much any of these.
 
If your budget is 2 grand and you want a good mid punching cab, my favorite is an ampeg SVT 810 cab. Its heavy but you never have to lift it, it has wheels and you can tilt it into a car pretty easily.

Also stairs in venues don't exist, apparently. Along with any other awkward load in scenario.
