Are 4x12 cabs really that good?

[FuzzyAce]

I don't need living space, I need more 4x12 cabs.

Did Marshall ever come up with a king-sized bed version of their legendary stack? I'm picturing you laying your head on a big, fluffy JCM800 amp pillow, and sprawled out over a 4x12 mattress.

I totally would.
Marshall branded socks and underwear too.

Is your name James Freeman or Yngwie Malmsteen?

James going to trigger the “I carry a Bluetooth speaker in my fanny pack” crowd.

I love 4 X 12” cabs but dont get the chance to play through mine stacked Loud very often these days.
I really want to try a BadCat 3 X 12” Celestion V30 speaker cab .
They don’t dope the BadCat speakers So they do sound very different .
I did try and buy three not doped V30s direct from Celestion but they didn’t want to know.

Very interesting. I bought a 1x12 extension cab for my Bad Cat Black Cat, but all it did was swamp me with reverb. I have it paired with an Engl 50w also connected to a Marshall 1x12 Greenback, but will probably trade it in when I get a Marshall 4x12 with Greenbacks.

Somebody on FB Marketplace is selling an old Traynor cab with 9(!) 8" speakers:

I would throw a lowball at it and see what happens just to see how that would sound.

I might under normal circumstances, but I am currently drowning in cabinets. I bought a Germino 2x12 for cheap on marketplace this week, which meant moving another cabinet into storage.

You could always go try it out for shits and giggles. Bring a 100w Marshall head and have at it.

If one is good, two is even better. More is more!
