Thats an interesting list Doc and I was wondering if you've had chance to try the new Tayden speakers , especially the alnico's. I have an EVM-12L curently paired with an Eminence Tonespotter in an open backed 2x12 and a G12-65 in my DC-30 combo. I need to spend some time moving speakers around as I have an Eminence Texas Heat spare, but I think this isn't the speaker to pair up with the EV, I need an alnico I think, probably will be a Gold.

No Hywel I never tried Tyden. What is it?

Alnico would be perfect combination with EV in 2x12 cabinet!
Just make sure that sensitivity is similar 100db. Probably Fane AXA12 would be perfect because it has milder highs and sensitivity is 101db. Also coats less then gold.

Seem to be as expensive as Blues and golds from what I've seen, just wondered if they are any good.

Will look out for a Fane.

I have used all EVM12-L, G12-65 and Celestion Gold and the winner is ...The Celestion Gold
 

Does anyone have experience pairing the Gold with any other speakers in the Celestion range with an ODS-type amp?

I have decided on a Gold for half of a 212 and am not sure what to put in the other side. I'm aiming for tonal flexibility; smooth lead tones, crisp sparkly cleans, Keef style crunch etc.. Sadly my location precludes any brands besides Celestion and Jensen.

Any thoughts? (Sorry to hijack, still in the theme of the thread I hope.)

Probably Vintage 30, G12-65 or best of all another Gold. Grin

I use a 1-10/1-12 slant-front cab I built myself. Both speakers are non-alnico Tone Tubbys.

I have two 1x12" cabs, one loaded with G12-65 and one with Gold. The combination of both sounds fantastic but Gold tends to overpower the G12-65. But if I disconnect G12-65 cab something is missing, so it just has to be there.
Celestion Gold is an amazing speaker, expensive as hell but worth the extra cash.

Is the Gold happy to receive the full 100w? I've never been clear whether speaker ratings are about maximum tolerance before break up or before destruction. Would it be unwise to use the Gold on its own with a 100w OTS in normal band settings?

Thanks. I had the feeling that another Gold would be the best option  Wink

Let's put it this way... It's to expensive to use only one Gold with 100W amp.

You definitely need two.

Gold is ONLY 50 WATT!!! (it can be OK with 60 watt but....) so two golds would be perfect, fantastic really. heavy tough!

If a 1x12 is desired, I believe Weber makes 100 watt versions of his Blue Dog and Neodogs.  Scumback offers 100 watt version of their Scumnico.

Well I have to say it because the original post said, "Please don't tell me Vintage 30's."

I have only tried V30's because that is what's loaded in my Port City Wave cabinet. I'll eventually get around to trying different speakers but for now it's V30s. Sorry.

Hello PickMaster,

I'm new to the forum and have just ordered an OTS.  Cool list.  Interested in your opinion if you wouldn't mind.

I'm looking at having two 112 open back cabs.  Play at mid level clubs and festivals so mostly medium volumes.  What would be a good pair of 12's that might compliment each other. I'm not looking for Ford or Santana at all.  Just a great pair for the amp and complimentary speakers. 

Also have you any experience with Altec 417-8C? I have had a cab in storage for ages and it has two of em.  Definitely over 20 years old. 

Thanks so much,

KV
