Great info!

Now how about this: what about the actual speakers? I see at least some of you are using Greenbacks & a Jensen. How about Eminence? They've kind of been my speaker of choice for 12 inchers.

FWIW, my main tone is warm & clean. I also use overdriven tones in the vintage vein. The main goal for this amp is for gigs/rehearsals/jams with an r&b, blues, funk band.

The Celestion G10N-40 that came in my Laney LC15 does what you want at lower volume for sure, but it breaks up as you crank it to even small pub volume. That was fine, but I was getting close to even useful crunch volume with it, so I dropped in a more efficient (louder) speaker, the Emi Red Coat Ramrod (10 inch). Great crunchy Brit rock sound, but for clean you may want to check out some of the Patriot series 10s, the Copperhead and Ragin Cajun specifically.

The only experience I have with 2x10's are the old Line 6 Spiders from 2000. I wasn't blown away by the sound. I'd rather have 2 separate 10" or 12" cabs spaced a ways apart.

The Music Man 210-65 and 210-130 combos are legendary. The 210 version of the Mesa Blue Angel is my favorite configuration of that amp. And one of the best amps I've ever owned was a blonde tolex 1964 BF Fender Tremolux. Great amp, and that 210 closed-back cab was perfect for small clubs.

Still like my 12s, but a 210 can be a nice alternative.
