Ported back 8 ohm with one Vintage 30 in a rather large cab: LWH = 26" X 12" X 15". Would have been nice if casters were included but not a big deal since it weighs just under 40 pounds. Appearance is, of course, very nice.

I'm running a Schecter C-1 classic into a Decimater ProRack G into a Mesa Studio Pre into an older 50/50 into this cab. Was a bit concerned about the large size of this cab and only 1 12" speaker, but my concerns were put to rest after I broke it in...
It sounds phenomenal. I play Metal, Blues, & Rock and have no problems getting a great tone from this cab.
Reliability
:
No Opinion
Haven't gigged with it yet. It's a new Mesa and has the 5-year warranty. I've heard great things about their products. If the cab is anything like my 20-year-old Mesa preamp or my 15-year-old Mesa power amp, I see nothing but miles of smiles.

I spoke with a few Mesa techs about some things. The ones who weren't in called me back the next day. Friendly and intelligent guys who told me what I needed to know.
The local Guitar Center isn't authorized to sell Mesa products, so I had to drive 75 miles to pick this cab up from Musicmakers in Austin.
Overall Rating

Been playing for 20 years. I've owned quite a bit of gear but have finally got what I consider to be my dream setup. I waited a really long time to be able to afford some good gear. Now that that day has come, I couldn't be happier.
The cab was not cheap, but it is totally worth it in my opinion. The tone is just incredible. It even sounds excellent when practicing at low volumes in the house.
