Which speakers to get?

[njshred]

If you don’t have Mesa V30’s, you don’t have a V30 cab.

I have a Friedman.

Vintage 30 and G12T-75 X pattern Build ur own uberkab? Just a thought. Most definitely a safe build. Or roll the dice & live a little with something you never heard of.

I went the opposite direction, and it's absolutely devastation.

My God, you've got to be pushing at least 50w through each of those cabs!

How many is this? You have no idea bitch!

I have a Friedman.

Those are Chinese. Get some T4416 16 ohm Mesas and it will be a level above a stock Friedman cab, for enjoyment AND resale.

Then get a Mesa OS with the T4335 8 ohms and you'll be super set on V30 tone! Best of both worlds!

Mesa retained the OG formula from Celestion after they made a cheaper version for everyone else. Even UK V30's after 91 or 92 were inferior. "UK" means nothing.

JJs in a vintage Boogie? Shame on you.

The Celestion G12-100 Raven is supposed to be out in April.

I have six 4x12s, one of which is unloaded.

Currently I have the following speaker setups.

Vintage 30s
Greenbacks
Lynchbacks
Creambacks M65
Mamzer 30s by Fane

I’ve been considering Scumback BM75s.

Play hard rock primarily.

Try the Scumbacks - everyone says they are good.

I do like my Avatar speakers - particularly the AV75s for certain amps, but definitely not for others.

Fane M65s are great to pair in a mix, or on their own depending on the amp.

I have had a couple of WGS speakers I liked, but they weren't phenomenal at volume.

 

[ChurchHill]

I was gonna say G12-65 or EVM-12L but everybody beat me to it. The new 55hz Blackbacks might be a good thing, too, as others have suggested.

Fane F70?

Yeah I thought about the 16 ohm Marshall Vintages as being legit, you are correct, but they aren't as good as Mesa T4416's.

I've got a OS Mesa cab, sounds great. That said, by best sounding V30's are actually chinese.

Clearly, you haven't played the 80s Marshall Vintages. But, not many have. They're more rare than any other Celestion not named G12M20 from 1966-67.
So, you get a free pass. I've had a few Mesa cabs, both Standard and Traditional from the early 2k range and they are great...with Mesas. Not so much with other amps.

So you mean Soldanos.
