What should I do

[dual rec]

I dont know if I should sell my VHT cab and get a 4x12 recto, or should I keep my VHT and get a 2x12 recto. Or possibly a 1960 cab. I try not to be too biased so just tell me what you think. I don't care if it's marshall or mesa or whatever. Just need some help. Thanks as always.

Well what kind of music are you playing?

the VHT cab is awsome!

Heck, I like the Boogie cabs but I like the Genz Benz G-flex 2x12 better. The 2x12's sound like a 4x12.

If you like the GenzBenz Id be willing to wager you will like the fat bottom VHT a little more.

Lots of metallica type thrash, randy rhoads stuff

youve got one of the best cabs for that IMO.

Ive got a marshall 1960A I'll trade you if you really want though.

I just compared a recto 2x12, a VHT Fatbottom 2x12, and a recto 4x12. I bought the 4x12. It sounded better than the others to me. It had a more spacious sound (imagine that). The VHT had a good sound but the rectos had more sizzle in the distortion. The VHT almost tamed the dual rect I was playing through. I'm sure with tweaking the EQ it would have been better. However, at $700 new it is super expensive.

It really depends on what you are playing. The Mesa cab is by far more versatile than the VHT.

But if you want a punchy precussive hard rock/metal sound that is really tight and focused, the VHT is tops.
