Diezel 2x12 Speaker recommendations?

[Mr. Burton]

Repost from main forum:

PIcked up a Diezel 2x12 on CL for a total steal. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic. Running it in a super stack between a Sunn 4x10 and 4x12. Sounds glorious. I may opt to switch out the Eminence D12V16's for V30's. Build quality is top notch. Caster locking system is very cool. What speakers are you guys running?

Need get some additional info to be helpful:

What amp are you running it with?
What kind of music do you play?

 

[Mr. Burton]

Yeah I suppose that would help. My rig:

Guitars- Godin Montreal, Fender TC90
Preamp- Egnater M4 (modules emulating Bassman, JCM800, SLO, Dumble/Mesa MkIIC)
Power Amp - Rivera TBR5 (octet el34's)
4x10 speakers - Eminence Ramrods and Rajin Cajun's x pattern
4x12 speakers - GT75's

Mostly hard rock, but kind of all over the place stylistically. Some adult contemporary, dance, punk/ska, blues, and acoustic stuff via my LR Baggs system on the Godin. Right now I am running the Diezel with the Sunn 4x10 on the same power amp channel and the 4x12 on the other.

Impossible to say what is the best in this situation and especially what is the best option for you. I have tried numerous different speakers, but eventually I have always come back to V30s. Even at this very moment I am thinking of trying something new, but then the question in my mind is "why bother, because my sound is freaking good already".

Do you feel like you are missing something in your sound? Or do you think that there is too much something in your sound? Broblems with clarity, note definition, power, bass, body, break-up/cry, not cutting through, etc.?

In my experience the V30's are great for more compressed, high gain music - absolutely love them. For clean or crunchy rhythm's where I want a little fatter tone I use my Orange 212 closed back with Splawn Smallblocks. The smallblocks are a high power (55 watt) Eminence version of the Celestion Heritage Greenbacks.
