i have the EVM12L in my HRM for about a week and wow!! what a difference!!...its like the amp had opened up. i have used it with my band pon two occasions... and have to say the amp sounds louder and punchier. i also used the G12-65 (which i had in there before) in a separate 112 cab together with the EV and that is VERY nice...they complement each other well

but the EV is THE speaker to use with this amp.

IMO the Ev's are steller for headroom.  The 65's are nice for low level OD, they do something weird @ high volumes ( then again I play really really loud. Its all Personal preference I guess.

a man after my own heart!!! i said it too about the 65's... they lose definition and just sound kinda flabby at high volumes.

the EV is perfect at any volume

I had the impression you use a EVM12L and a Celestion 12-65 in one cab? Do you like it?

 I ran an 8ohm Ev and a 16ohm 65 in parallel in a 2x12 cab for a while. It was nice but lacked something because the impedance was off, I usually ran the OT @ 8ohms with that. After a bit I started using an additional 16ohm 65 in parallel with the 8ohm Ev and 16ohm 65 ( so 3 speakers in total ) . I wasn't getting enough clean headroom ( although the OD was very tasteful ). Clean Headroom is 1st and foremost in my rig so I opted for another Ev ( got it for $100 shipped ) and scraped the two g1265's.

 All and all I prefer the Ev's, IMO they offer a sound no other speaker can rival. I hope 2 try out some Tonetubby HEMPCONE's in a 2x12 in the future for an alternate ( or additional ) cab . The only thing I have a problem with is the frigging 40 lb's of speakers + the 60 lb's of cabinet but I am willing to carry it because it sounds so damn tasteeeaaa.....................

yes i have an EV in the combo cab and a 65 in a 1x12. they sound great together...both 16ohm so i run the amp at 8ohm when have both on

you are right though..... my back is taking a beating with the EV in it!!

  Indeed so, the EV is pretty heavy.

  Anyone tried the amp with one of those new lightweight magnets?

Thanks!

Nik,

What lightweight magnets are you referring to? A Neodymium magnet? Could you please elaborate? Or send me a link?  Grin

I am interested ... I just need an alternate (or additional) cab with lightweight speakers.

Thanks Cheesy

yeah i think Nik is refering to neo speakers which can be lighter due to their power they can use smaller magnets.

I'm now running a 4x12 with WGS ET-65's with my HRM50.
It sounds huge and only slightly heavier and easier to lift than my old 2x12 cab.

Neodymiums are great speakers, my favorites are Jensen Jet Tornado 100w 98db and Celestion Century 80w 102db. Very fast and punchy response. They are great in 2x12 or even better in 4x12.

This blue cab is 2x12 Centuries and weights only 19kg with speakers and built in mics.


This one is Jensen Tornado 1x12 very light but awesome sounding speaker

I put two Jensen Neo's in an oval back Avatar Cab and they are not a good match for the OTS in my opinion. Very bright top, harsh mid and little low end. I will be selling the pair shortly.

Jensen neo and Jensen jet Tornado neo are different speakers !!!
Tornado is very balanced with great bass and smooth top and, very punchy and articulate (as hopefully you hear from the video clip).
