Re: slanted vs straight

I prefer straight cabs overall because they have more "depth" to their tone. I have a few straight cabs that are quite good, though, as well. The slant cabs can get a little more high end, and not as much bottom end due to their design. And the top speakers will focus a "beam" at you if you're standing about 8 feet in front of them that can get annoying if your speakers have an upper mid peak (Vintage 30's) or a shrill high end response (G12H30 Anniversaries).

After having both, I like the straight cabs for that depth but nice also to have a floor angled cab if you dont have a monitor
