Bogner OS 2x12 vs Avatar Vintage Premier 2x12 pics

I did a ton of research regarding cab construction before I built my two 2x12s. I saved a bunch of pics like the ones in this thread. There is nothing at all superior in the construction of the Bogner over the Avatar. Bogner's tolex application though, is the best in the business IMO.

Everytime I get close to buying a Bogner, I think about the Avatars and wonder why. The Mojo cabs are also built well and so are Splawn's and Mesas.

The cabs I built were based on the 2x12 rectos. I'm still tweaking mine and have gotten close to a "final" sound using a pair of Hellatone 60Ls, two ports and no filler. They're wired as 8 ohm mono and 16 ohm stereo. You can see a bunch of construction pics on my site: www.dafguitars.com. Here's a couple...

So, I guess the verdict is that tha Avatar 4x12 is a good choice?

I think my decision is down to an Avatar with H30's, an old Mesa metal grille or nothing at all :D

Price wise the Avatar is a no brainer, you cannot touch that price unless someone is having a blow-out sale. That cab I posted on the first page that Ralph found was a killer deal as well but long gone.

I want to order one of those cabs with speakers that someone wants so I can sell them and put MC90s into it.

can they not get mc90's to put in the cab for you, or are they a mesa only type deal?
 
My Roadking cabs have MC90's (mixed with V30's), they are very nice speakers IMO :)

yup, that is why I would get someone that wanted a certain speaker and order the cab with them so I could sell the speakers and buy the MC90s and I could pass some savings on to the buyer :)
 
ahhh, gotcha

i've got 2 mc90's i've thought hard about trading, but i can't bring myself to do it
