Title: best Speakers for HRM 50 watt
Post by: ajmsrv on February 03, 2012, 10:24:32 PM
Anyone have a recommendation for speaker or spearkers 1-12, 2-12 or even 2,10's? Celestion, tone tubby. etc. I need to get a new cabinet as i have been running my new head into to two 12 Vox 75 watt 16 ohm speakers. love bluesy jazz. SRV kinda tones.

The classic speakers often used by D-clone users are the Celestion g12-65 and the EVM 12l.  I have found something better than those, but out of production...The MI and G series speakers from JBL.  Specifically, in the MI series, the MI-12 and the MI-15, in the G-series, the G125-8 12" and the G135-8 15".  MI series have a 2" flattened ribbon wire VC, rated for 150w RMS, the G-series use a 3" flattened ribbon wire VC rated for 200w rms.  All of these speakers sound great at lower volumes, and simply tremendous at higher volumes.  There is great control over the cone, no wierd sonic artifacts.  Clean or dirty, I have not found the equal to these speakers and I have heard LOTS of speakers.  Easiest to find on ebay.  There are some NOS MI-15's on the bay right now, I got two of them and they are wonderful.
