Anyone tried this speaker combo?

[Brow]

Hey guys.

I've got the go ahead to be able to order a new 2x12 cab for my Splawn Quick Rod, so now I have to decide on speakers.

When I got my Quick Rod I tried it through a Diamond Amplification 4x12 that had 2 Vintage 30s and 2 G12Hs in it and it sounded really good.

The obvious thing to do would be to put 1 of each in the new cab, but that wouldn't have enough power handling for the amp, so I've been considering a G12-65 (instead of a G12H) paired with a Vintage 30.

Has anyone tried this combo before? If so, what did you think?

I emailled Celestion too and this was their response:

"The V30 with a G12-65 a good pairing for a bright amp as the 65 will darken off the top end and give you great definition for the metal bits. The V30 will add grit and bags of tone so it should sound great."

Just thought I'd ask for anyones 1st hand experience of these speakers.

Thanks.

Craig

Re: Anyone tried this speaker combo?

I'm a big fan of the Eminence version of the Vintage 30/G12H-30 combination. A Governor and a Wizard together sound great. Plus, each handles 75 Watts, so it should be enough for you, I think.

In answering your question, though, no I have not tried the Vintage 30/G12-65 combination.
