Well, the no-brainer suggestions would be either a G12H-30 or a Celestion Blue. Cheaper alternatives would be the Eminence Wizard or Red Fang, or Weber clones.

Beyond that, more creative suggestions would require experience and brain power, both of which are in short supply here today.

My first thought would be the G12H30 as well.

I prefer Eminence for everything. They have such a variety of speakers to choose from.

i like the g12h-30 but havent liked the chinese ones that i heard recently as much, could be me being biased but i dont think so. good fat sound

id skip the celestion blue. great speaker but not for an amp over 20w, you dont want to pop a $220+ speaker. the alnico gold though is a nice speaker. i have one in my blackface deluxe and it is a nice balanced speaker with a wide tone. not as bright as the blue but very nice

i have tried and liked the eminence red fang, texas heat, and cannabis rex.

i think the rex might be a great speaker for that amp

Im with Jermey, try the Can Rex...Imbetting that would warm up the highs a good bit and really help make the amp a tad more balenced. The only negative about those speakers is the long break in time...

Re: Speaker suggestions for a Classic 30

they do take a while to break in but i think they are a really great speaker once they loosen up

I just bought a Weber 12" Blue Dog ceramic for my extension cab. My Champ 6000 sounds really good though it. There are a few sound clips of the blue dog.

Just click open the British series and the Ceramic blue dog speaker, the clips are there.

To me, Greenbacks are the best sounding speaker, hands down. I can't use them 'cause of the power handling, but with a lower wattage amp like that; they would be my only choice.

Hellatone 30 (Celestion G12H30) or Hellatone 60L (Celestion "OEM Special" Vintage30)

I'll throw the Eminence Texas Heat up there too, nice sounding speaker, kind of a mix of the best American and British traits.

For the CL-30 it is hard to beat the good old Emi GB12. My son uses the Emi Private Jack in his with good results.

Re: Speaker suggestions for a Classic 30

Thanks for all the suggestions Now I have learned it has to be a 16 ohm speaker.

Re: Speaker suggestions for a Classic 30

many of thos speakers are available in 16 ohm versions, such as the cannabis rex
