Often the opposite - Depends on the Combo, and depends on the cabinet.

Each combination, quantity, and wattage of speakers will make different sounds. A 2x12 combo is the same as a 2x12 head with an equivalent 2x12 head most of the time.

Often the combo will sound better due to the speakers used being designated to that amp - But doesn't stop you from switching speakers to find something which sounds even BETTER.

1x12, 2x12, 4x12, etc all sound different - And the more you vary the speakers, the more different  they would sound.

This si a phrase that is often applied but is the best I can offer.

Take a day (or two) and simply try everything you can get your hands upon. Try combos, stacks, half stacks, solid state, modelling, hybrid and all valve, from there you will get a feel for what you like.

Personally I prefer combos, but then I don't gig and only have low wattage requirements.

I'd say it's even simpler than that... heads + cabs are more expensive, so unless you've got almost unlimited funds, if you're comparing a head + cab to a combo at roughly the same price range, odds are the combo is better because it's a higher model...

EDIT: as an example, look how much a marshall avt stack costs, and compare it to the valve combos in the same price range...  :shock:
