i know this is a vague question so im gonna ask for the pros and cons of the cabs i was lookin at for a jtm45. any input is greatly appreciated.
1960ax?
2061cx (the rare lookin 2x12 one)?
the 2061 is only 60 watts and i think that would almost be perfect to push with a jtm 45 or even the 50 watt dsl i have. thanks
btw im lookin for that classic marshall crunch we all know of. acdc etc.

Wait, do you want to distort the speaker? Because a 50watt RMS amp will put out at least 100watts true when cranked.

Edit: For example, I'm currently using a 4x10 140watt cab with my 100watt JCM900 head, which can be switched down to 50watts, and even then, at about 6 or 7, the speakers give a really bad distortion kinda sound.

im looking for good sounding speaker break up i dont wanna blow speakers
since the jtm 45 is only 30 watts i didnt think it would be enough to push a 100 watt cab. maybe im wrong. i was mainly lookin for a cab for the jtm45. i already have the 1960a for my dsl

Well if you're gonna be turning it up, you'll want something more than 50watts, maybe 70 or 75 will be about right.

what about an avatar 2x12 with vintage 30s in them?

Jesstaa

I've been told Avatar cabs are quite nice sounding, and cheap. So if you don't mind not having a Marshall, go for it.

Although a 2x12 cab will give you a lot of low end without much highs, and it wont exactly be all that much quieter than a 4x12.

yea that sounds good im just afraid of havin too much low end cuz my dsl already is pretty bassy with my jj's and the whole deep switch n all. thanks for the help. i hear a lot of good things about those avatars.

Jesstaa

JJs are pretty good tubes, but they're dark.

Some good N.O.S tubes would pair up real well with that amp.
