September 2005:

I got it yesterday, it was a moment that I was waiting for my old Marshall 1960A not satisfy me at all. In fact I keep ENGL 2x12 home (I still use the 1960 A repeats).
Awesome! I send my stereo rack (Marshall JMP1 + TECH 21 + Sansamp Rocktron X-Pressure + Peavey ClassC 50/50) in 2x16 ohms and it is clear that the sound is good ... Whatever addressed style, Precision is definitely there, the spacious sound, deep bass, crisp highs without being aggressive, warm mids ... nothing wrong for a 2x12, the bass is there, the sound sharp and I finally stopped bleeding ears (much less aggressive than my 1960A).
At ENGL it looks very solid air, Do not Mess With the cabinet: 29 kg the 2x12, it speaks volumes ...
Value for money ... Hey yeah the ENGL 2x12 is almost as expensive as a Marshall 1960A but unless you do the (VERY) big stages, the power supply is ample and in terms of sound reproduction .. . without comment. In addition to many heads are 100w, sent a 4x12 250 to 300watts is good but in a 2x12 130 watts is more punchy!
If the need arises maybe I'll invest in a 4x12 or 2x12 rather in a second for a good stereo image.
There is clear with ENGL I am satisfied with my purchase for a moment ...

Adding January 2007

I redid a test of my marshall 1960A and ENGL, it's been a while since I had not made the comparison with the two speakers side by side, same settings to the amp; there it is true that the name "marchmal" take its meaning! It comes mostly G12T75 that are actually very aggressive compared to the Vintage 30 ENGL 2x12 (I have owned a 1960AV mounted V30 so very good speaker but it seemed to share that little less punchy ENGL).
for fans of metal and big overdrive, do not take the term "less aggressive" as synonymous with a lack of power or fishing! Rather than G12T75 in overdrive (it's a bit less significant in the clear) project a noisy soup very messy, here or send a powerful V30 Surgical his (witness their presence in most of the speakers brands recognized by the metalheads: Mesa Boogie, Rivera, Bogner ...).
If one is a follower of his crappy unintelligible saturated in the high end casual punk way, G12T75 agree perfectly ...
Hallelujah ... Besides ENGL ENGL means "angel" in German right?
