Final speaker decision!? THD and WGS content.

Re: Final speaker decision!? THD and WGS content.

So I am thinking:
ET/65 - ET/65
ET/65 - Reaper 50
Et/65 - Vet30

So two ET65s or mix a Reaper? I thought the Reaper was best for clean?

I used 4 G12H30s with my 5150 for years. Awsome grindiness! I vote ET65/Reaper HP or ET65x2

OK, will try ET65/Reaper HP. Thanks, Would one over power the other?
Keep in mind this is also a small 212 cabinet. The THD 212.

I dont think one would overpower the other. I think they should play nice.

So ya really think the ET65/Reaper is a nice set? I am tempted to just get another Vet30/ET65....but my bandmates always thought that was too dark.

I've pretty much been a dedicated Celestion fan, but for my Vibrolux Reverb I'm ordering a pair of WGS speakers. It should be interesting to see how the quality is; I'll be posting about it for sure here.

I might stick to the proven Vet30/ET65 and grab a Reaper to compare.

The ET65s will sound as big, but have a rounder, warmer tone. The CL80s can sound a bit 'sharp' but are a VERY clear speaker. They hold together very well at loud volumes too. The WGS Lead 80s supposedly take some harshness out of the top of the CL80. I dont know how the THDs would sound in comparison. Mixing either a V30 or Reaper would sound awesome with te CL80s though.

The order date is closing in! I am going to be ordering the WGS Invaders first for another cab.

For my small cab I am thinking the following:
Vet30/ET65
Retro30/Reaper50
ET65/Reaper50

There is always the Celestion Vintage 30 and Mesa C-90. And since I have used Celestions for years successfully, it might be my choice...or the new Celestion Creambacks/Lynchbacks.

Heck, maybe ever Scumbacks! LOL.

Can someone compare the Reaper 50 to the ET65?
I am trying to get out of mixing speakers to be honest.

If I go ET65, this will be my rig:
Bogner 212 - Hellatone Celestion V30s
Stone Age 212C - WGS Invaders
THD - WGS ET65s (or Reaper 50s)

What about Eminence Cannibus Rex?
