Orange Ppc212 vs h&k 412?

[Jke]

Hello! I'm on the hunt for a cab for my new thunderverb 200 and have the choise to buy either a Ppc212 or a hughes & kettner 412, both with v30 speakers and for about the same price.

Does anyone have any experience with h&k cabs? Orange cabs seem really good, but then again the h&k is 2 speakers bigger. What do you think?

If i had an orange head and had to choose between the two, Id choose the Orange.

The PPC212 can't handle you TV200 at full pelt. Wrong impedance, wrong wattage.

You really need to find a cab rated above 200w, ideally at 8ohms (so you can plug in in 200w or 100w mod, just different output taps.

A 120w 16ohms PPC212 would only let you play it in 100w mode.

Thanks for the input! I think that's what I'll do, I can always buy another later if I want 412 I guess

I know, which is a shame.. I will play on the 100w setting for starters, but I'm planning on buying a Celestion redback 150w 16ohm later on to pair with my Eminence Legend 120w 16ohm. No idea if it's a good match, but from what I've heard the redback sounds great, and I really like my legend as well
Guess I could always sell the v30's that come in the cab later!

Thanks guys, I've decided on getting a black ppc212 to match my amp. I have a feeling it's going to be awesome

Les Paul Lover makes a great point! I wasn't thinking about the 200watts. 100 watts is more than enough for guitar however. You need two Orange cabs to run in 200 watt mode to get 8 ohms.
