There is a mod you can do which is clipping the bright caps. This is common with older NMV's because some people don't like the harshness of these treble heavy amps. I have always liked the sound, but the mod is pretty simple from what I understand. I don't have any resources to give you right off hand but you can check it out in a google search sometime. On all my Marshall's I always have the Presence set to 0 at all times and the Treble control either at 4 or 7 depending on which guitar I'm using.

The bottom cabinets will generally hold more low end than an angled cabinet but in the same breath, a 50w Marshall does not have the low end definition that a 100w head has. They can be inherently slightly more harsh.
