So I’ve been looking for the upper mid push of this speaker for quite a while now without realizing it. Vintage 30s are expensive, though. Should I be looking beyond the Governor and the Veteran 30 as options? Which of the two do you prefer?

Re: Vintage 30 type speaker recommendation
Eminence cv75.
I do not own them but have played through a fellows 2 12 with the 16ohms in it. They sound good to my ears. Really close to the V30's I figure. Maybe a touch more to the bass on the CV and a little less treble.

Re: Vintage 30 type speaker recommendation
Theres a speaker thread on here that has a You Tube Video where they compare speakers with about 3-4 Vintage 30s in the comparison along with a 65 and at least a dozen 70s and 75s.
Side by side I'm sure you'll come to the rational and logical conclusion that Vintage 30s are the still best. no matter which one you pick.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

Re: Vintage 30 type speaker recommendation
My favorite in order are:
1. Mesa Vintage 30
2. Marshall MFV30
3. WGS Veteran 30
4. Celestion Vintage 30
5. WGS Retro 30
Based on your requirements, I think the WGS Retro 30 would be the best option. It is more reminiscent of the Celestion V30 than the Veteran 30 is.
I own all the speakers I listed, but I haven't owned a Governor. The many clips I've heard of it have left me unimpressed though.
However, I do personally like the Veteran 30 better than the Retro 30. But that does not mean it is better...••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Re: Vintage 30 type speaker recommendation
If you want a Vintage 30, get a V30. They pop up used every once in a while for a lot less cash.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Re: Vintage 30 type speaker recommendation
I agree, just hunt v30's until you find one at a good price. They are cloned and copied for a reason.Go buy my book. https://www.amazon.com/dp/198405564X
