So what's a good set of speakers for a Carvin Belair

[Ascension]

Thanks
mine came with the 8 ohm VL series 100 watt speakers
they sound just fine

I just want to see if something different would be better

At the moment it is still super loud for home use
I may just flip it

Before you flip the amp might want to check out Ricks mods for those. He is an old friend and has done some amazing things with those amps.

The Belairs I have owned had a pair of 16 ohm speakers wired in parallel for a 8 ohm load from the factory. You are using the set up that Carvin installed at the factory.
The vintage series Carvin amps are voiced on the dark side in particular on the crunch side so need a brighter speaker. If you go Celestians the H 30 in particular would be a good speaker to look hard at and they work well with a Vin 30. I have owned several of those amps over the years in 1/12 Nomads, 2/12 Bellairs and the heads.

I agree with this. The Carvins of this era were all pretty dark, so brighter speakers tend to work better than even the stock ones.

ok so I put the V30 and the WGS veteran 30 in the Belair
they sound very nice




I put the new Linebacker that came in today in the 1x15 cab



Bruce, is it normal for it to crackle and pop and cut out when new?

I may have done something wrong
maybe I have the polarity backwards
