Splawn 2x12 or Orange 2x12

[docster]

I am getting a new QR and want to pair it up with the best possible cabinet. I currently have an Orange 2x12 with V30's and need to get some good insight. My options:

1- sell the Orange and get a Splawn 2x12
2- get a pair of SB's to replace the v30's

Another issue I have is that I will be using this cabinet with my Mark IV as well.

What would you do? Please keep in mind that I do not require "matching" amp/cabs, and I am also assuming that the Orange cab is of equal build quality to the Splawn cab (if someone disagrees with the build quality part, please explain). I would also like to limit my spending here.

If you look around,

you will find speakers and tubes discussed ad nauseum. lol You will find plentiful opinions from both Brit and NorCal converts to Splawn, as well as love/hate for the V30 speaker; more polarizing than Nat'l Health Care for the United States. I have seen Orange cabs up close; I don't suppose there is anything "weak" about them, or see any reason not to use it.

Keep in mind the Splawn speaker is intended to give popular Celestion g12m 75hz (Small block) and g12h 55hz (Big block) voicing to the Splawn, a different thing from the V30.

Without any information about what you are seeking sonically, nobody can give any specific advice.

Happy Hunting!
