There is a guy on here (EVHpickdust) with ALL the versions of the 5150III and the cabinets. He thinks the V30s don't sound good with this amp and the matching speakers sound the best. But here's some clips with different speaker setups:

Here's a clip I made last night at lower volumes with the G12H30s in the 2x12:


This guy is using Celestion G12 Creambacks, which sound pretty nice too:


This is an old clip I made using 4x12 with G12-65s from the early 1980s. Sort of like a higher wattage greenback I have heard.

the last clip has an amazing tone :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

Thanks! Yeah it's 4x12 with 1980s G12-65s (funny, I think its actually a "home built" cabinet with a marshall logo slapped on the front). They have this smooth, mid hump that cuts great and sounds great on film (considering I used a Motorola Razr M phone for the recording). They really open up when you get some volume into them. I imagine a hot-rodded Marshall into them would be bliss, the original 1960 cabinets used to have G12-65s...I don't know why they moved to the T75.

Here's a picture of one of the speakers when I opened it up, maybe someone will know the year of them:

The two best speakers I have played with my amps are:

G12-65 and EV-12L
