Some of the nicest speakers I've ever used are Webers ( I have 3: Silver Bell, Blue Dog, and California)

Give Ted a try at: www.webervst.com
He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. (I also have V30's and Naylors)

I'm a big fan of Webers myself, but I've had Vintage 30s in most of my Mesa Boogie amps and cabs over the years and they were great, too... Striving to be a little more budget-minded, I recently put an Eminence Patriot in my Deluxe Reverb and I'm really pleased with the results - a great, open, American sounding speaker that really complements a Fender amp, and it cost me very little...

I also have a hot rod deluxe and I run a 1x12 cabinet in addition to the speaker in the amp---I use a Vintage 30 in the 1x12 and it is awesome---it adds lots of bottom end I dont get with the amp by itself.

Vintage 30's are the best for me, i've got a Mesa Boogie Recto 2x12 with Celestion V30's and it's absolutely fantastic...

Yep, he is great! He just re-coned some old Greenbacks from the 60s I had that were shot. They sound fantastic! Much better than the Celestion re-issue cones that lose the vintage flavour.

G12H30 - maybe one of the nicest all around throw-it-in-anything and it will sound good speakers out there. I'd like to get two for my 4x12 so I could have a X pattern with the V30's in there now.

My favorite as well. Mixes great with a V30 in a 2x12 cab, too.
