I use the 2x12 for about two years. I use it in addition to another mesa 2x12 rectify that is my main speaker at outdoor concerts or you can put the potato!

I have not tried many other speakers before buying this one ... it had everything I was looking for. Of Celestion Vintage 30, a very reasonable weight compared to a closed back and over a mesa.

His side, it's not bad ... it lacks a little bass compared to a mesa or orange closed back which is normal since open back and a quality of wood a little less than an Orange made in England.
The violin is very different from English orange ... just lift to realize. It lacks a few folds of wood to make a difference. This clearly impact the quality of sound. But again, in addition to my mesa, it goes a lot .. mixing the two speakers mitigates the effect of compression of the mesa and I like it well.

For the price, and if you looking for a good 2x12 and so once again it is not a big enthusiast of excessively low, then the Orange open back is nicely ...
That said, the lower it goes .... but still can not compare to a closed back.

If I had to make a choice, I will take the baffle still good value for money.
