I wasn't going to put this. But I am putting this.
The physics of cabinets, especially since I started using amp modeling; have had me struggling. I fight with my own perceptions on this piece of the rig chain quite a bit. Especially around meal time where my brain is in overthink mode.
I LOVE 412s but they have to be up LOUD where the sound is at least "even" with what the physics of the experience are giving me. 212s are a lesser but almost worse situation where they are too much to lug around and I don't generally l like what I get out of them.
With 112s; I feel like I get more of the pure amp tone and experience without relying on that OOMPH that a 412 gives you. It's not that there's anything wrong with that (pro-tip: because there isn't). It's just I really find myself struggling with the low end as speaker count and enclosure size goes up.
This is all gobbley-gook; I know. It's just what my food lacking brain is up to at the moment
