I've used Governors/Manowars, Small Blocks, V30s, and not too long ago switched to some H75 Creambacks. I'm finding I like the Creambacks the best, but the amp truly sounds good through most any cab
 
“Creamback” is being mentioned a lot without differentiating between the H75 and he M65. They sound different.
 
I asked Scott thru a email and his response was the M 65 ,
I just bought a used splawn cab with the greenbacks so once it comes in I can give a better opinion
:thumbsup:

Scott recommended the M65 Creambacks in the Splawn 2X12 I want to get.

Yup. Scott told me that the M65 is everything he wanted in a speaker for the Quick Rod. That's what I have in my Splawn 2x12's.

Here’s a greenback vs creambacks comparison both sound good to me

My post is pertaining to the QUICKROD. The comparison in the Youtube is with an EVH III amp.
 
Man too bad you're not in Vegas! I have my Creamback loaded Splawn 212 for sale.

I pulled the trigger and ordered a 2018 fully loaded Quickrod. Im counting the days till it arrives!!! I already own a MESA 2X12 with VINTAGE 30s but really want to get the SPLAWN 2X12 with Creambacks because it seems that the Creambacks are highly recommended and match well with the Quickrod. My question is do you think Im going to notice that huge of a difference by NOT having Creambacks and will be missing out on something special tone wise? Thanks guys.

came across this thread and wondered where the OP landed on speakers for the FLQR?
 
This thread pre-dates my joining the forum. I’ve got a fully loaded QR and a fully loaded Nitro. I played ‘speaker-go-round’ in my Thiele ported 2x12 and finally arrived at a pair of the 30 watt U.K. Heritage speakers: one 75hz and one 55h. Could not be happier with the tone. Firm lows (not loose or tubby) - full mids (not boxy) - clear, articulate highs (not harsh or piercing). FWIW - both my Splawns are the 50 watt variety, so the pair of 30 watt speakers works well for my needs.
 
I like my QR with greenbacks. Have only tried it with those and V30's though. Have always been interested in the M65 Creambacks but have never pulled the trigger on some.

I tried Creambacks and didn't care for them. So I would say no your not going to be missing anything.I went back to what I found to sound the best in my Splawn 2x12 which is a Splawn small block with an Eminence Governor. You may want to try swapping one of your Vintage 30's for a Greenback.

Which Creambacks: M, H, both? And what didn’t you like about them?
 
I have Small Blocks in my 212 but wondering how these Creambacks work for metal?
 
Greenbacks in the 2x12 in my hard to see Avatar , nice and broken in they sound killer. I bought a budget 1x12 cab with a G12H30 to use with my Super Sport mini head and to my surprise it sounds great to my ears and the speaker still could use some break in time

Ha, good to see you. Have not seen you around in a bit. This new forum format makes your avatar look like a Weber grill - which is cool in my book because I cook on Weber's all the time.

Speaking of avatars, I had an Avatar 212 cab before my Splawn cab and I had it loaded with a G12H30 and a Classic Lead 80. Needless to say I always mic'd the H30 side.

Weber grill LOL . I had an Avatar 2x12 for years before I got the Splawn 2x12 in 2017 . I let go of my Splawn 4x12 earlier this year due to living conditions because of the Covid pandemic . I miss but it went to a friend so its in good hands. After swapping so many speakers in that cab I finally settled on G12T75s up top and Creamback H75s on the bottom . I never thought I'd use G12T75 but I needed a bright speaker that wasn't mid heavy and it fit the bill , now I'm really starting to miss it :(
