    Am I missing something here?

    Checking out the price of Celestion Vinttage 30's, and Musicians Friend has them for 145.00 each;

    Okay, then I check out this Egnator Cabinet, solid Birch, Birch back 4x12, and its 599.00 loaded with , yep, Celestion V30's. Whats going on here?;

    To top it all off, I look at the price of a new Marshall 1960 cabinet, and its 950.00. The specs on the Egnator look every bit as good. even better, unless I am missing something, what with the solid birch back compared to the particleboard Marshall back- and also the steel handles vs. Marshalls plastic handles. Egnator doesnt have Caster cups on top, so you'd have to put rubber feet on your amp- so what!
    Am i really paying 300.00 for that little plastic Marshall emblem??;

    It must be so! I can see a kid at Guitar center now;

    Salesman- "You want a Marshall cabinet kid".

    Kid- "I heard Egnators are built just as well as Marshalls and cost three hundred dollars less".

    Salesman- "Who plays an Egnator?"

    Kid- "well... well.. I don't know"

    Salesman- " Exactly, noone Kid. Jimmy Hendrix and Jimmy Page played Marshalls.
    You want a Marshall Cabinet".

    Kid- "Yeah, I want a Marshall Cabinet!"

    Well......

    The kid could always buy himself a Lopo for three hundred bucks and stick one of these on his guitar case!

    Maybe you are.

    I only paid 19.95 for mine on ebay. They have the small ones, the big ones. They even got the little vintage style with gold on 'em!
