Mmmmm............. Last friday I played like this with no problems though.burnsy wrote:I agree with Mr.NorthWest.
Even a 50w head could 'peak' and take those speakers out.
That's a pity........... I love the sound of those Greenbacks. And sorry, I hate the sound of the VM with Vintage 30's, so fizzy and shrill, and too damned loud too.ironlung40 wrote:I think knowing the output ratings at certain settings would not help you any. It is a fact that you're running speakers not rated to handle the power you're pushing through them. They will burn up, it is just a question of when it will happen. Do your self a favor and get a properly rated config. before you waste those speakers. V30's sound good with the VM and you could run 2 of those in your 2x12 cab for a 120watt rating. I do this with my 2466 and haven't had a problem. I don't have a solution if you're wanting to keep running the speakers you have now. Perhaps a 4x12 with em' if you had a 2266.
good luck to you
Hey, I hear you on not liking the V30's with this amp. Not everyone does. I've got celestion 65's also. Mine are original and I've used them in my 2x12 with the VM before and I liked them a lot better than the V30's. I also play several other heads with my 2x12 though and the V30's at the moment seem to be the best option I have to be flexible with all of them. I don't want to change em' in and out. I'll get another cab at some point. Anyway, I think you'd like the 65's. Are you going for old ones, or do are they in production still?guitarguru wrote:That's a pity...........

I'll think this whole thing over and decide later... Perhaps two G12-65's will do the trick.
The 65's are still/again in production by Celestion. They're part of the Heritage Collection. Can't find them though, used...........ironlung40 wrote:Hey, I hear you on not liking the V30's with this amp. Not everyone does. I've got celestion 65's also.

as for the load boxes, I never liked them. I always thought the tone suffered heavily. That's why I just play master volumes. I think the speakers would be your best bet to get what you want.
I've seen them used from time to time, but at high prices. The best way to get them used would be to buy an old cabinet already loaded with them. I saw a cabinet about a year ago for sale with them in it. It was a JCM 800 series cab. I believe the price was only about 400 dollars. I should've bought it, but didn't need it. Anyway, at the per price for speaker, buying a cab already loaded seems to always be the better buy.guitarguru wrote:The 65's are still/again in production by Celestion.
