I need some help picking a speaker and or cabinet.
In addition to my Splawn QR, I also have a Mesa Roadking combo. I have a Mesa 2x12 recto cabinet that I use with it as well as the combo speakers. It works really well. to make a long story short, I had some water damage on the Mesa 2x12 cabinet. I am looking to replace it, and I really am impressed with the build quality on the splawn cabs, and was thinking of possibly replacing the Mesa 2x12 cab with a Splawn 2x12 cab.
Now....... here's where we get into the "fun" part. I know speakers are debated till people are blue in the face. I know there are lovers/haters of the V30 speakers in the Mesa 2x12. personally, I like the sound it has. But I am open to options. So the question is, Will the Splawn small block speakers in a 2x12 work well with the Mesa Roadking? Keep in mind, the road king is a rectifier, but its not the new metal thing. the Roadking is versatile, and hits twangy country cleans, gritty blues, vintage rock, and melt your face off recto metal. its a swiss army amp. it does everything. So the speakers should be a similar "catch all" style that isnt pegged to one specific style of music. so I want to know if you folks can provide any insight here. I would like to know if I can get a splawn cab that will sound outstanding powered by the Mesa Roadking. Or am I better off to just stick with the Mesa 2x12 again?
also, the other option is......... I could buy a Splawn 2x12 unloaded and put whatever speakers I wanted in it. OR I could even see if Scott and the crew would install a set of whatever I picked in it. I dont know if they do that, but it doesnt hurt to ask. just and idea. should I hand pick a set of Eminence speakers and load in it? or get V30's for it? the options are virtually endless. Eminence must make 50 different models of speaker... how do you even begin to pick one? its just crazy!!!!!!!
SO I am open to options here people. Any and all feedback and advice, information would be greatly appreciated!!!!
