How are the 5150 Cabs?

[Spaced Out Ace]

The most general complaint is that they are muddy/tubby.

I have a straight cab. It sounds good.

What do most people find wrong with them? So far I haven't had any problem.

...Someone actually like's Sheffields?! Has Peavey started moving away from using Shef's and started using Stephens or is that just for the 6534+ cab?

[MuyLoCo444]

The 6505/5150 cabs are great. I like the Sheffields better than Celestions. Someone here( I forget who) pointed out that I could get a better nasty, more vibrant sound with the stock speakers. So far they have not let me down.

There not that bad, Theres not much differance between the marshall and peavey cabs, ive owned both, Flame suit on

Well Marshalls have Celstions and the Peavey has crappy Sheffields, but Marshalls seem to go about 500 used here. At that price I may as well just spend the bit extra to get a new Avatar or WhiteBox.

I'm basically just looking for a cheap cab for jamming at home with, so it doesn't have to be the best. I just don't want it to sound like crap

[Spaced Out Ace]

much better options at that price point used.

[Oblivion DC]

you're better off getting a used marshall cab with celestion for 300-350.

This.

The Peavey cabs have always sounded kinda tubby to me.
