You kidding? I've listened to every Eminence speaker and I think that the Wizards are their best. I have an affinity for the Cannabis Rex 16 but that's because I'm part of the "legalize it" crowd.

That cab's worth it for the speakers alone unless they've been absolutely trashed.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Awesome! I'll give it a shot. If anything I can chunk the speakers and try something different.

Those Wizards are seriously awesome. I have one in a 2x12 paired with a Governor, sounds great. Even if you hate them you can probably slang em for like 55-65 bucks a pop. Win-win, dude.

I somehow saw Eminence but missed the Wizards. No brainer deal if you have space and can move it. The Wizards can readily be traded or sold for more than the ask on the cab.

Some BVs came with OEM Eminence speakers of whatever spec Crate gave. Could be great or blah. Either way, I'd pay $100 for the unloaded cab. So buy it!

Let us know how it turns out! If the cabinet itself ends up being shaky, there's a youtube video, I believe the guy's name is Tom Molton, about how to solidify your cab and make it sound better.

I'm voting 70's style Traynor cabs. I paid $120 for mine, it sounds great. Could be louder... but I'm not keeping it forever anyways.

Cab sounds great! Could use more lows at lower volumes it when I crank it it opens it up and sounds super big.

The only issue is the plug on the back of the cab. It's crackling and cutting out. So I may need to solder something.
