I make no bones about being an EA fan (especially of the VL-series), so they of course got a vote from me. As you said "check all that apply", though, I had to also mark Epifani and Bergantino. While I tend to somewhat prefer a more "flat" or "uncolored" cab (more on this below), both Epifani and Bergantino cabs seem to me to be only slightly colored (and Epi perhaps moreso than Bergs), but that this just gives them a bit of a "signature sound." Both are very good. My favorite Epi combo is the T-112/T-110UL (times two, if possible!). My current favorite Bergie combo is the HT112/EX112, although I'd love to hear all of the new NV line.
One brand that I was very surprised to see absent is Accugroove. If I had to vote for only two cabs, it would have been EA and Accugroove. These are two of the top makers in the "uncolored" category. However, I have recently acquired a Hevos Midget, and it has, quite honestly, blown me away. If the rest of their cabs sound like this little 1x10, I shudder to think of what their larger cabs sound like!
Two other manufacturers that I believe I would have to vote for in a "check all that apply" type of poll are Dr. Bass and Low Down Sound. I have tried two one-off cabs from Dr. Bass (a 2x10 and a 1x15), both using neo Eminence drivers, and they are incredibly good for the size and weight. Dr. Bass is currently working on making these two cabs even better right now! And literally every cab that I have heard from Don up at Low Down Sound (and I have heard about 7 or 8 of them) were very impressive. They make one of the best 1x15's I have heard, and their long-throw 8" equipped cabs are really something special.
Really!
So, if I had to vote for all of my Favorite cabs, I'd have to include:
EA
Accugroove
Epifani
Bergantino
Hevos
Dr. Bass
Low Down Sound
I recently bought my first ACME, and it is taking a bit of getting used to. But I just may have to add Andy's cabs to this list as well. They are special cabs in their own regard, and they do require a somewhat different approach to get them to sound good in a very loud setting.
And if we were to rewind the clock about 8-10 years, or if someone were looking for a more "classic" bass cab configuration, then by all means, cast my vote for Mesa Boogie! Their Diesel and Road Ready series were tops in their era, IMHO. Their 4x10 and 2x15 still survive as stand-out workhorses.
And here I thought I was just going to check a couple of boxes and move on...
