Non-Traditional Speaker Mixes

[EyesOfTheSouth!]

Anyone have can full of speakers that “shouldn’t” be together according to the masses? My tastes change from week to week, but I’ve been plugging into the cab below most of the time lately.

I used to have Creamback H-75's mixed with Relic 30's. Until I realized I didn't like either, LOL.

I had an Avatar 212 with a G12H30 and Classic Lead 80

I have a cab with 2 Greenbacks and 2 Eminence Swamp Thangs that admittedly doesn't sound terribly well balanced, however its extremely fun to play through for a different sound. Its extremely "brittle" sounding but in a very fun/cool way

I have a 2x12 cab with a Celestion G12H30 (55Hz) and a JBL D-120..

Shouldn't really go together, but sound great.

Don't know how non-traditional this mix is, but two Chinese GB RI's mixed with two UK.

Surprisingly, the Chinese sound way darker.

My friend just had a cab with 2 creamback 75s, an 80s g12-65 and an 80s g12-80 and it sounded great

Mixing various Celestions I wouldn't consider non-traditional or unique. For me, so far some non-traditional mixes that worked very well have been JBL's (D120F's or E120's) mixed with 20w GB's like EVH did, '60's Alnico Blues top row/Fane Crescendo's bottom row and soon I'll try some combos with my Altec 417C's

I'd recommend more guys get outta there box and try incorporating other vintage speakers besides just Celestion's. Celestion's IME have the best midrange, while JBL's and Fane Crescendo's are much stronger in the low end and high end, so the right mix can result in a very complete sound

I have a 2x12 with a WGS Invader 50 and Vet 30. They work wildly well together. Each speaker fills out what the other one slightly lacks. The sound is really 3D.

Arguably the most traditional speaker combos.
