Which is the best 2x12 cabinet and why?
Hey guys right now looking for a great 2x12 cab, with a huge 3d sound almost like vintage 4x12 cabinet, with great"sweet high,low,mids balance",and without flub or farting sound... for now on my Internet search i read about a company name Earcandy and the BuzzBomb 2x12...

I like Bruno 2x12 pine cabs for the vintage tones, THD 2x12 for the rock tones and Port City 2x12s for the big, versatile tones.
The Bruno seems to breath and has a softer, 3D spread. The THD can really thump like a small 4x12. The PC is huge, lots of lows, great highs and really lets you hear yourself onstage. If I had to keep one, it would be the PC OS 2x12.

Avatar Vintage cabs are hard to beat for the price.

I actually like my 65Amps 2x12 cab better than the 4x12's I've owned. Exactly as you described - simply huge. Loaded with a G12H-30 and Cele Gold.

Mesa makes some great cabs. You will pay the price but definitely worth it.

+1 for Port City Wave, either the regular 2-12 or the OS 2-12. I had an EarCandy 1-12 and I thought the PCW 1-12 had a more open, airy sound.

I'm going to agree with one of the above posts. My Bruno 2x12 is really good. That cab exceeded my expectations. I have ceramic Tone Tubby's in mine and it sounds fantastic.

A THD loaded wtih Celestion Blue and a GH 30 70th aniversary.Has the presence of a much bigger cab huge sound for it,s size..I use this cab with my Bruno Underground 30 this combo of amp and cabinet sounds just right for me.

The construction and sound of the THD and Mojave 2x12's is great. Slightly open in the back to reduce low end boom. Small and portable. They sound much bigger than their size. I like the look of the Mojave with the darker brown grill cloth and it is beefy.

+110 I went through four or five 212's and went so as to record / compare several at once. No contest between mesa/Koch/fender/Mojo/ the Bogner was simply in another class.. I'm sure the other higher end stuff mentioned is fantastic too but so far my Bogner OS212 is the be-all-end-all 212 in my book.

I think the Earcandy Buzzbomb is the best 2X12 I've ever played and I've played a LOT of 2X12's.
Play one and you'll know why.
