Correct. You can't machine-wire cabinets. Calling them handwired is stating the obvious.

With regards to Marshall and VOX it's not that they are wired in any different manner. It's rather that they match the cosmetics of their hand-wired amp series.

 

"Complete your VOX Hand-Wired Series guitar rig with the V212HWX Hand-Wired speaker cabinet, providing a stylish cosmetic match to the AC30HWH head ..."

 

Though Marshall does mention that it is in fact hand-soldered

 

"The 60 Watt 2061CX is a hand-soldered, 2 x 12” cabinet designed to be matched with the 2061X handwired head"

A couple thoughts....

 

My impression of "hand wired" was that rather than using a PCB to make electrical connections, there are actual wires running from Point A to Point B. Is that not the case? In any case, I never put too much stock in the theory that one would sound "better" than the other.

 

However, it's kinda funny. I was in GC a few weeks ago and wanted to check out an AC15. The young kid there said "do me a favor and try this hand wired one. Hand wired always sounds better". Well all I know is that thing sounded SWEET. I should have compared it to the "regular" AC15 right next to it for $100 less, but I guess I will never know now if there is a real difference or not. I went back a few days later and the red hand wired one was gone.

I have a number of hand soldered, hand etched PCBs. They sound twice as good because I use the word "hand" twice.
