Nice cab but corners were cut
Pros:Size, Tolex finish, cover option, metal jack plate, good sound, very good for the price, but you need a good speaker as well, obviously.
Cons: No screws included with mine. It means I had to spend time buying them from the hardware store which takes time in a crowded city...
Now the input jack is a guitar jack and the cable with the aluminium core is not soldered to it. It is connected using connectors. I mean how much would a Neutrik female jack (The manual page funny enough shows a similar to Neutrik jack, like a subtle suggestion for replacement) and copper wire and soldering would cost extra? 5-6 €? Keep in mind, if you want to replace the jack with a Neutrik one like I did, you need to enlarge the plate hole, and tools are required.
Since the speaker is supposed to be front-mounted, a speaker foam seal should be supplied, because most speakers are made to be rear-loaded and have no gasket on the rear rim of the steel basket. You can get one from here: <a class="article link" href="monacor_speaker_foam_mdm_35.htm">Monacor Speaker Foam MDM-35</a> but it is extra cost, and most speakers do not have one. You can probably get a rubber seal as well from hi-fi shops...
The wood extension hosting the Harley benton logo on the removable grille touches the speaker edge. It should have been sized properly. Hence the grille remains slanted...
Hopefully Thomann will read this feedback and improve the product.
If you like to spend a bit of time and upgrade things it is fine. But out of the box, it needs these things to pair it with a tube amp and a good speaker. You need good reliable electric contacts.

Really good
A really solid cabinet for the price—great value for what you get.
I paired mine with a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback (8 Ohm), and I’m very pleased with the result. It delivers a full, rich sound and handles the setup beautifully.
