You'll be lucky! "Good" and "cheap" don't usually go together.....

They're not bad cabs - I don't know why everyone slates them. The cheaper Marshall cabs aren't too hot, they lack definition and projection, but the regular 1936 is fine for me (as is my 1960 4x12).

I got a 1936 2x12 in brand new condition (although bought 2nd hand) for £180. The new speakers were £120 and goddamn was it worth it.

There are no "good" 2x12's on the market for £200 IMO.

Have a word with Martin at Martamp. He does an excellent 2x12, which (unloaded) should not be too much more than £200. Ask him about the same dimensions cab as I have.
I am VERY happy with my Martamp 2x12 cab. For me, it's the perfect combination of size, portability, tone, etc, etc.

My Tube Town 2x12 was about £155 unloaded I think, that included shipping as well. I had 1 G12H so I just got another, so the whole cab cost about £250 and it sounds great, actually sounds much bigger than my old 2x12 which was huge and made of thicker wood.
