Any of you guys have one of the early Jcm 800 cabs with the G12-65's in it?

I've never used this speaker and have read some reviews on line that these were the best sounding 1936 style 2X12's marshall put out.
I'm looking for a 2X12 to offset my Avatar vintage 2X12 that has V30's in it.
anyone here got one of these (or played through one?)

Not in the cabs you mentioned, but a friend of mine has them in a Crate Blue Voodoo 4x12. We've played JCM 2000's as well as my Bogner Ecstasy 101b through that cab. Sounds fine with both of those amps. He actually wants to mix a pair of Celestion Greenbacks with a pair of those 65 Watters in there eventually.
