Ok, as some of you may know Marshall have just released a new 8x10, the MBC810. It's 1200w (almost twice as powerful as the VBC810) and It can be found at Soundslive for £459.
The cheapest I can find the VBC810 new for is £599 at GAK.
Anyone have any idea why the MBC is so much cheaper than the VBC when it is on paper seemingly higher spec? The VBC does look better with the cloth as opposed to the grille IMO and it's sealed too. Are sealed cabinets more expensive to design? It seems to make sense as all the cheaper 810's seem to be ported (Peavey, Ashdown Mag etc). I think comparing the two is pretty unlikey so just wondered what everyone else thought really.
