I have owned and used avatar trad 1x12s, 2x12s, and 4x12s. They are definitely not as good as Mesa or Orange cabs but they are just as good as Marshalls (which the old Trad cabs basically were.)
Unless there is a specific colour combination you gotta have I don't think they're worth buying new now that they're a bit more expensive. Hard to beat as a used buy. Buying a new cab is pretty silly if you are on any kind of budget.
If you are really stuck on buying a new cab look around your local musicians' classifieds, there's a LOT of people handbuilding basic cabs these days and that's all Avatars are, there's nothing special about the designs.
