Is someone out there running a Triple Recto into a 1x12 cab?

I have an EV loaded 4x12, and an Emminence Super V (Lynch) loaded 4x12...VERY heavydanyeo":3a1xajs3 said:paulyc":3a1xajs3 said:Why did Jake E Lee and Zakk Wylde use EVs ? 4 of them make an 800 watt cab.
AND those speakers are 24lbs each! Those 4x12's loaded with them are a bear to haul around.

A few people I trust, including a pro player, say this is the best Celestion they have ever played. My one friend replaced all his speakers with the Red Back. Reports say it has amazing tone, very warm high yet incredible detail, the tightest speaker they make too. Apparently, similar to an H75, with warmer highs. Apparently, the thickest muds you will find in a Celestion, and somehow the speaker does not feel stiff...feels more laid back like the Creamback M65 or similar M speaker.

I had one in my 75 watt Marshall SS combo back in the 80's. I really don't remember a lot about it really, supposedly the old ones are revered by some players. I removed and sold mine a long time ago when I converted the combo to a tube amp project which has a 12G65 reissue in it now which I really like.
