Avatar cabs...

 

Debating between an Avatar and a used Marshall cab. They would have the same speakers...

The Marshall would be an extra hundred bucks or so....

Just wondering about the tone/quality of the 2 compared...

I've only owned one Marshall cab. A 1960A with my JCM900, (4100). I did gig it for about 10 years in bars from Louisiana to Illinois. The wheels were crap, and it rattled a lot. But, it took a beating.

 

Never owned an Avatar.

 

I like combos/open back for the smaller 200/300 seat clubs I gig.

 

Best to ya.

Yes, I just recently bought one. I was using a Crate 4x12. This is much easier to haul around. As far as sound I love it. I was worried about losing bottom end by going to an open back but lows are still room shaking My mids are more noticable now as well. I would say the build quility is excelent. What speakers are you getting? I have one Hellatone 60 (vintage 30) and one Hellatone 30 (g12h30). Good combo in my opinion. The sales person was very helpful, and shipping took less than a week.
