Getting a 2x12 cab soon…. what speakers?

[MetalThrasher]

I'm looking into getting a 2x12 Avatar Cab. I was thinking of V30 mixed with something. Out of these 3 choices which would you choose? Heritage 30, G12M-65 Creamback or G12H-75 Creamback?

Ij like the v30 m65 mix.

I have an H30/V30 ix in my 2x12 and LOVE it.

V30 & H75 Creamback sounds great together. Like peanut butter and jelly.

^ that's what I'm leaning towards but in a 2x12 would the H75 overpower the V30 vs, the M65?

60-70W vs 75W... nope. You're good. Some rate the V30 at 60W... others 70W. Different versions most likely.

That would be my suggestion as well. It's a fantastic combination.

I really dig a V30 mixed with a cl80. Great combo and they compliment each other very well. I’ve been using an old Carvin vertical slanted 2x12 with this combo live weekly over the past 2 years and it sounds really good.

Per the Celestion spec sheets, the H75 and V30 are rated at 100dB sensitivity and the M65 is rated at 97dB. So the H75 is a better match for the V30 there. I've never tried either combo but I remember when these first came out and IIRC the H75 was the consensus 'better match'. But that very well could be just because of the sensitivity match.
