2x12 rec cab or thiele for a mark 3?

[AustinK]

Hey guys I haven't been on here in a while seeing as I am at college without my mesa

I really like the sound out of my half back stack so i am led to believe that a thiele will work. But i am wondering if it is going to sound big enough or should i go for a 2x12 rec cab.

Also i have seen some pics and is it possible to put a longhead atop a thiele or would i be better off putting the head on its case?

I should note i mostly play metal a la dokken/ozzy etc...
Thanks in advance

I have a Recto 2X12 cab loaded with EV12L's. It sounded huge with my MKIII I used have. I loved it.
I had a MKIVa that I played through it and again, huge. It just sounds amazing. Especially with my treblebooster.
Unfortunately, I fell victim to GAS and sold all my Marks. I'll get another. Right now I have a DC-5 that sounds
really good through it but mostly use the cab with my VHT at the moment.

the recto 2x12 likes ev's.
i tried it too.
worked out quite well.
v30's suck!

Very cool. That was going to be second question, whether the rec cab likes evs.

I think thats what i am going to go for then.

Thanks guys

I have a thiele with my Mk III combo and sometimes I play it only through the thiele, believe me when I tell you, it has a HUGE sound.

Sounds good

I think i will just go with a thiele. Loading a rec with evs is a little too much cash right now.
