I really like the Alnico Gold Cream. I use them with 2 Diezels, 2 Monomyths and a Mark IV and they are very easy to dial in no matter which amp I use. I have older v30s in Boogie cabs that I use and by comparison the Alnicos do not color the gain like the V30s do in the midrange. That may or may not be a good thing depending on what your after, but I use them in 2 2x12 cabs and they are the closet thing I've heard to using 4x12s. I would absolutely recommend them.
