Amp/cab speakers! (what do you use)

What do you use and why? I'm pretty settled on what I'm using on my new cab but I'm just curious

i have been using my sunn concert lead half stack exclusivly of late. according to the stickers that were inside the head it was built in 1974. according to the guy i bought it off of who got it from his dad they are the original speakers in the 412L cab...

dont know what they are as i never opened up the cab but they sound great! very dark amp with awesome spring reverb!!! :joy:

I've got a pair of old Traynor 1x12s -- 1967 YGM2 and a 1972 YGM3 -- all hand-wired, tag board construction, made in Canada (waves flag).
Stock speakers are crap, so I've got UK Celestions in them both -- a Greenback and a Mesa/C90.

...and you love fuzzrites...we can be friends :lol:

I've got c90's and greenbacks now, but I'm thinking about trying some evm12l's in the port city wave I'm looking at.

I really like the Jensen P12N in that...

Whoa those are a lot of speakers :lol:

You're right about the Jensen P12N, that one sounded great.

I'm partial to twins--I have a 1980 135 watt monster with JBL E120s that rings like a bell.

I've had good luck with Webers over the years. I have a 10A125 in a Princeton Reverb that makes me melt. And I put an Eminence Cannibus Rex in the Ampeg Gemini I, perfect match. But tried the same CR in a Reverberocket and it sounded too warm and honky, still trying out some other options.

Music Man HD212 [600 watt 2X12, speakers are Italian, can't remember the name, starts with a B]: Clear, tight and tons of head room.
SWR BIG BEN [1X18 Bag End speaker]: I've Had it forever, great for outdoor gigs.
Fender Bassman 20 [my practice amp, all tube 18 watts 1X15 "fender" speaker]
Ampeg JT-12 [coolness with trem] I hate the speaker though and and like to run it into other cabs...
Sunn ((O))) 1X15 cab with a celestion BN15-300X
WEBB [70's] 2X15 CAB with JBL D140Fs

I've got a 2x12 with Tone Tubby speakers. They're very warm sounding.

I have a 1x15 that was originally a Hartke, but I swapped out the speaker for a Peavey Black Widow. I also have a GK 2x10. The amp has been an old Peavey Mark VI from the 80s for quite a while, but I just bought a Genz Benz Shuttle last night. :yay:

all my vintage stuff have the original speaks......for new cabs i like celestion alnico golds alot, but they are too expensive for me load all my cabs with....so i use eminence guvnors, texas heat, or man o war for 12's, delta demons for 10's. i have one cab loaded with tone tubby 12's.

i love old jenson speaks but haven't tried the new ones yet....
