I just got through going through a ton of cabs - Mather 2x12 with Greenbacks, Recto Traditional 4x12, California Tweed 2x12 with Blackbird 40s, a Dr Z convertible with a Creamback M65 - all were fine.
I've been bouncing between a mix of tube and solid state / digital, and varying styles, so versatility is kind of king.
I've been eyeing the new / reissued Mesa Split Backs, as I love the look and configuration. I have made a note of all of the bad things folks have said like the price, the material differences from the old ones, using dual C90s instead of whatever.
All that said, it came in this morning and bloody hell, this thing is incredible.
Admittedly, I love C90s - always have. I know it's a super polarizing speaker, but it just seems to be able to do EVERYTHING, and while it's not the best at any one thing, it does every single thing I want it to do competently.
Most important, the open back on top / closed back on the bottom configuration is amazing. Tons of room shaking low end, while also filling the room in a way my closed backs never could.
It's the honeymoon, I know, but I was INSTANTLY impressed with this thing, and have been playing through it all day.
Comically enough, I think the Orange Super Crush head is my favorite through it so far, although my Allen Encore combo into it sounds absolutely incredible.
