Spider Cabinet can't handle high volumes

Hey guys...

 

I have always been a big fan of line 6's products, but now I have a bit of a problem.

I own a Spider IV HD150 and a Spider 4x12 cabinet...

When I use it at low volumes I get great tones (including with the artists presets), but when I crack up the volume it becomes VERY messy!!

The sound looses the definition and the "crunchyness". It sounds like the treble is insanely high, even if it is set under 50%.

I tried running a different head through this cabinet (a peavey valveking), and guess what? same problem!! At higher volumes the cabinet became extremely messy, with way too much treble. So I guess the problem is in the cab, and not in the head.

I have the most recent flash memory installed (2.0), and it didnt help at all...

And yes, Im using proper speaker cables.

I tried lowering the chanel volumes and cranking up the master, but it didnt help eighter.

Im guessing this cabinet can't really handle high volumes, and whats a 4x12 good for if it cant be played with the volume past 40%??

If anyone was able to solve this issue, I could really use some help.

Otherwise, I will probably sell the half stack and by a Marshall MG half stack (witch sounds great with my pod hd400 by the way)

thanks
