Ohmage and Stuff
Ok so i have a marshall DSL50 running through a traynor 4X 12
its LOUD...but almost too loud..im 18 so i still live with my rents..my dad is always tellin me to turn it down no matter what...and when i jam with my band i cant get it past 4 before they tell me its too loud..now my drummer does have a shitty kit and is gonna get a more quality kit soon
more to the point..is overall power gonna be lowered depending oin what ohmage i set?? im currently at 4 ohms...and the amp has an option for 8 and 16
other than that is the only way to cure this "too loud" problem to get a 2X12 cabinet or do i juts get a practice amp at home...my biggest concern is that i dont think im letting the tubes drive themselves hard enough
any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated

it will sound better when quiet if you run it at 16 ohms into a 16 ohm cab. Higher impedance means you drive the power section harder and it will sound decent.
Also, people tend to say that they notice the 4ohm setting being noticeably louder than the 16 ohm setting when the knobs are in the same position.
So try that.

marshall cabs are pretty generic, usually celestion gt's. I personally don't like the sound, much rather have a randall cab with v30s in it, or a krank cab with eminence speakers. But in all honesty, you are gunna need to try them out for yourself...
Plus, it'd be cheaper to keep your cab and just put new speakers in it. End up spending 400 as opposed to 800 y'know.

a weber mass is probably the most transparent attenuator you'll find
anwyays, for the DSL, i'd try g12t75's and greenbacks if i were you. I just got a mesa standard cab with v30's in it today and it is SUPER muddy and boomy compared to my marshall cab with g12t75's. Its likely partly caused by the cab construction, but also those speakers seriously lack the presence of 75's. My amp is a marshall 6100lm btw.

Well the vintage 30s have more of an emphasis on mids, rather the 75s have the more low and high sound. (which the word presence is probably a good appropriate description.)

thats what they say, but thats not the case in the different cabs. Might also have to do with the ohmage. I'm finding the mesa cab to be REALLY dark and boomy.
