Need your opinion! Comparing three different 4x12 cabs.

I preferred the third pass in the soundcloud clip. It had the best articulation of the three. #1 the low end was noticeably neutered. Two and three are really close together as far as the bass response, but three had the bass and a little bit more high end and was overall a bit louder.

on my bose sound link speakers:
#1 sounds harsh in the mids
#2 sounds like the lower mids are accentuated
#3 sounds more resonant and lively in the bottom end

on my m audio bx8 carbon monitors:
#1 sounds harsh in the mids and up
#2 and #3 both retain the same characteristics as above, but not as pronounced

i think it should be noted tho, that individually they all sound good on their own and that the above opinons were directly in comparison to each other. that being said, 2 and 3 both get my nod, but 3 just has that extra 5% to my ear.

Thank you guys for all the feedback! This is really valuable from a pre-production point of view.

@levipeto Good guesses!

 

[Ed DeGenaro]

For this mosdef 3 for my taste. 1 too muddy, 2 is inbetwween 1+1 a close runner up for me.

 

[firmani99]

I am assuming that they are the same type of speaker?

 

[GuttaLaser]

My priority order (based on the Souncloud sequence):
1
3
2
1 and 3 are more RIYF and more out of the mix
2 is more in the mix

 

[Chronos]

1, mesa
2, peavey
3, marshall

I was reading into the letter designations and was guessing P for PRS or Peavey. R for Randall?

Oh I didn't notice those.

 

[Admin M@]

I prefer #1

 

[Chronos]

He's probably being misleading with those anyway haha

 

[Mr. Brady2.0]

I didn't hear much difference, Maybe three was a little better.

 

[SmokeyBoar]

1 has this very nice and spanky bite to it which i like, but i will choose 3 over the other two since it sounds more "balanced".

 

[Triaxis75]

That slight cut through with #1 made it sound more 3d to me.
#2 sounded mid scooped slightly.
#3 sound like #2 if you pushed up the frequency of where the scoop was at.

And....im probably wrong in every conceivable manner....

#1 Is the one that I would prefer...

 

[ChrisYoung]

I like #1 the best. You can hear the mid getting shifted, through all 3 examples. They all sound great really.
