FWIW, I've had my EVM12-Thiele cab for almost a decade now and cannot ever conceive of selling it, it is
that good (well, once I considered it, and then came to my senses
).
I've used it with my DC5 combo for years and the thiele serves as a perfect sonic compliment to the open-backed MC90 (too bad it's a few inches narrower than the combo, but I can live with that
). FWIW, I would
not use the Thiele alone as it is too focused and almost too "hi-fi" in its clarity, which oddly enough, makes it the
perfect compliment IMHO to the open-backed MC90 which is warm, and rich, but doesn't have the sheer low-end authority of the thiele, nor that high-end glassy crispness. Not to mention the added "size" of the tone: my thiele and open combo together are huge, rivalling a 412's sonic footprint; no exaggeration ...close your eyes and you're thinking 412 in terms of girth and moving air, seriously.
I say this which much anticipation as I just picked up a 5:25 110 and can't wait to run it with my thiele cab. That they are the same width is gravy! I am chomping at the bit as it's scheduled to arrive this week, but given that my thiele has been a successful compliment to everything else I've plugged it into (from other Boogies to older SF Fenders), I hope to expect the same added girth and authority when I couple these two together.
