I've heard some dodgy things from a guy who's heard some dodgy things about the build quality of those 2x12's.

It's hearsay extreme to the max, but it's the best I've got.

:lol:

:drink:

Well, I dont think I'm gonna go for one of these any more, as I have other things which need paying for :roll: I am still interested in getting a smaller 2x12 though as mine is pretty big and a pain in the arse to move around - its pretty much compact 4x12 size (actually taller than my mates Marshall cab!), just slightly narrower.

i owned the Framus 212 for one year
it's a great cab for small venues and reherseals
You won't find a cheaper cab with V30's

So I'm rethinking getting one of the 2x12s.. Are they easy to move around? I've just had the first band practise in ages and remembered why I hate my current cab - pain in the arse to move around! Makes me wish I had a combo again..

I was looking at that Framus aswell.

Reputable make.

Good speakers.

AWESOME price.

All good right?

i've tried the dragon 2x12 cab. $%&#ing awesome, damn fine cabinet indeed. If you want a 2x12 of any higher quality, you'll have to dish out AT LEAST 400$US more, all just for a tiny step up in quality.

this might be a long shot... but I think the cabs are cheap because you usually buy them with their incredibly expensive heads so they give you a deal on them.

:twisted:

Though the framus looks more versitile, being that it can be open or closed back... and weighs 3kg less.

Just emailed them to see what wood is used in the Harley Benton, I just realised I sent the message with "Bendo" instaed of "Benton" though for some reason :lol: :lol:

apparently bendo isn't a very good material for cabs... seems to bend over time.
