Value For Money :
Excellent
2x12 cabinet, equipped with Celestion V30, one of the references in the rock / metal and other field.
The sound output is more than high!
The front grille protects very well hp mishandling, it is very useful in small concert halls and everyone comes in!
on the other hand, weight and space level, is necessarily less cool: it's heavy, and it takes almost as much space than 4x12
The sound is well defined, although a little directional. I put diffusors home TubeTown above to reduce the effect of beaming V30 that are deemed highly directional.
Being granted Drop C, and playing pretty extreme music, we can say that the speaker plays its role! the large size of the beast allow it to have a good definition in the bass (the palm mute out well, though perhaps a little too much resonance with his "bhmm" kind of notes at the end: it is corrected by including molo from the EQ of the amp)
If you do not have diffusors / beam-blocker, I still recommend to raise the baffle history to improve the dissemination of sound.
The price / quality ratio is good, especially occasion! ENGL is deemed to make good stuff, and their expertise has been implemented on their range of baffle too.
The grid is a lot when spinning with a group and the Tolex seems to hold, despite the wear of time.
Due to its weight, it is better to install clockwork, your back will thank you!
For me, it is the high-end 2x12! the only elements that drive change is to switch to a 4x12, which then stop the music.
The only downfalls of this cabinet are "directional" next to HP (problem solved with diffusors) and its weight (partially solved by adding casters)!
