Bogner 2x12" Oversize Close Back vs Mesa 4x12" Rectifier Traditional (Stiletto)

[maloteslos]

Hi guys! I need a good cabinet for play in concert with any type of dimensions! A cabinet with good tone and much versatility in reference a genres. The options are:

-Bogner 2x12" Oversize Close Back.
-Mesa 4x12" Rectifier Traditional (Stiletto).

What cabinet is better for my needs?

They're both great cabs. Both are high end, built to last, built to tour, and sound great. Go try them out - you really can't go wrong. If space is an issue, the Bogner is marginally smaller.

budda pretty well nailed it.

If you're going to be using a 100w+ head you'd might be better off with the extra power handling of the 4x12. The OS Bogner is not much smaller than a standard 4x12 but it is a little lighter...

I had a Bogner OS 2x12. It was a great cab and it definitely had a wicked 'rich/warm' tone that I did not have in any of my mesa cabs (although I only had 2 OS 2x12s and 1 recto 4x12). I bought the bogner because I needed something that had the same vibe as a 4x12 but small enough that I could move on my own...which the Bogner was perfect for.
