But two 4x12s wont just sound great to your ears, they will flatten them deaf lol

2x12 is an excellent compromise to be sure.

Even at home I use a 2x12. My wife lets me blast it for at least an hour every night. I shut the doors in my office, and she shuts the door to the bedroom and we're both happy. Plus, she likes hearing me play...

...and they are too big to move around. And they take up too much floor space.

Venies, if I should eber get so lucky would be small. On rehearsals up until now I've used a Quilter with a compact 1x12.
The speakers I have are a Celestion Alnico Gold and a Celestion Creamback Neo.
The cab I'm looking at (if 2x12) is this:

Lol nah, just ceiling height. Unless your gigging, why move em? If you do, get friends: easy peasy!
Could always be worse, could be four 4x12s!

This guy usually has the 2x12 slant.

Well see? Don't need to move them then lol
And wait a sec....you say you dont have any friends?
Truthfully, I'd be just as happy with 2x12s, but, got a quad of 4x12s and I am stuck with them. Sentimental type and all lol

Since I love my Mojotone Slammins 2x12 so much, maybe you can check if this builder can build you a cab like the Slammins?

I mean local, near my house! I have tons of friends here. I've even met some of them, but they are too far away to enlist in a speaker moving drill...
I gave away a nice 4x12 cab to DonO
