Splawn Cabients.. what speakers combo?

[meanstreet]

allright, just gave the 75's a go, and Troublehead is right, they aren't anything like a Manowar. i actually kindda liked the 75's, but they are way more scooped than the Manowar, and i'd think the 75's are too scooped to run on thier own.


the Manowar has a scoop, but it's just a narrow little scoop and it's way boosted on either side of the scoop. don't know how they ever got label as being like the 75?


anyways, i'm gonna stand by Eminence the Governors are damned good and so are the Swamp Thangs! guess i'll stay on the fence with the Manowar, they can be pretty good, but just think they are going to be more particular about the amp.


i've got no reservations at all, about recomending Governors in a Splawn cab, and think all Governors would cover a lot of ground. if you want to do an X with the Governors then you may want to pick what speakers you use by what amp you use. Swamp Thangs and Governors go good together with quite a few amps.


out of 4 amps i've had, 3 of them liked the Govenor/Swamp Thang mix, better than the Governor/Manowar mix. and one of the amps could be dialed in to be really good with the Gov/MOW mix. amps that liked the Gov/Swamp better were the Splawn Quickrod and Triple Recto. amp that likes the Gov/MOW better is a Mesa Stiletto, which oddly is a really bright amp and that mix is pretty bright it's self? amp that liked Gov/Swamp better, but could be made to sound good with the other mix was a VHT CL/100 with EQ.

edit: hell, i'll tell you what! if you order a Splawn and get a Gov/MOW mix or Gov/Swamp Thang mix and don't like them i'll trade you my V30's or my GT-75's for your Eminence! i've got 4 16ohm V30's with just a few hours and 2 16ohm GT-75's that i just took out of the box tonight.

Did you try the V30s and G12T-75s together? They mate VERY well together. The big mids of the V30s and the big highs and lows of the GTs. They seem to fill in what the other is missing and really fill up the tonal spectrum when used together, IMO.

nope, not yet. that was the original intended purpose for getting the 75's. my V30 cab is made so good, will take quite awhile to get them in there. i ended up putting the 75's in an easier cab to work with.
