I was looking at 2x12 guitar cabs online and noticed that two cabs with the same speaker configuration can have drastically different prices.

These two cabs have the same speakers and rated power but one costs almost three times as much as the other. And then there’s Marshall cabs that lie somewhere between these two brands.
