Does anyone have one of these cabinets? It seems like a decent cabinet based on the specs. I was wondering how it sounds.

It would be used for a number of reasons. In no particular order, it would be used to, hold a 60's Champ and 70's Princeton Reverb on top so they're off the ground and away from toddlers and male dogs that still mark things, and to somethings run the Champ and Princeton Reverb through, or any amp head that I may get in the future that is compatible with the cab.

Thoughts on it's quality? 4 12" Celestion Vintage 30s.

Total system impedance for the Supersonic 4 x 12 enclosure is 16 ohms -- thus, it's not really compatible with either your Princeton Reverb (8Ω) or your Champ (4Ω). The SS cab could conceivably be re-wired for 4-ohm operation if you're handy with common tools and a soldering iron.

The SS's four Celestion V30's deliver the classic Marshall-esque vibe reminiscent of the "stack" era common during the late '60s and early '70s. IOW, great wall-of-sound tone but a bytch to haul around.

Appreciate the info. Before I came back to look if there were any responses, I was leaning towards not being so lazy. I could just keep them off the ground and up high where they won't be a danger to toddlers or a pissing spot for dogs. Get them down when I use one and put them back when I'm done. That makes more sense than buying a huge cab to use mostly as a shelf. And it's good to know I couldn't run my combos, anyway, through that cab unless the cab was modded.

Pick yourself up a couple of those tilting amp stands......I'm certain they're only few bucks.
