Title: Best speakers for EF86 36 watt?
Post by: Tone Control on May 27, 2011, 07:12:45 AM
I've just found a nearly-new EF86 36 watt

Any recommendations for speakers anyone?
I'm guessing I could use my stock Badcat 2x12 which contains a doped V30 and some other doped celestion

thanks
Tone

Well my 18/ef86 combo is a 1x12 with a greenback....but to my ears it sounds much better through my avatar 2x12 cab with a Vintage 30/G12H30 .... could be just the difference between 1 and 2 speakers.

Sounds like the badcat 2x12 may do the job then, I think it contains a Vintage 30 and G12M70 (both Doped)
Failing that, maybe a Matchless 2x12
I don't have a Greenback on its own at present

I picked up the amp tonight
Sounds great through the Badcat 2x12

more tests will follow
