I know a few others have said it before, but the Warehouse 30's sound very good with the Eggie gear--the upper mid spike is softened up a bit.
I do like the V30's overall but in the right cabinet with the right grill cloth. Cabs with an open weave (Marshall) or metal fronts just sound nasally and nasty whereas cabs ( like the Egnater's and Avatars) with the thicker tight weave grille cloth sound very full and nice. I've also had good results with the EVM-12L.
I got some G12-K100 Celestions in both my Eggie 1x12's and man they kill
. They are still getting broken in, but damn...they are pretty killer. Take a G12-T75's muscular tone, add some mids back in, and smooth the upper mids and highs to be less aggressive. Very chimey on cleans, very punchy and warm w/ the SL and COD, and aggressive like a G12-T75 on heavy stuff, but with more mids. The low end punch is still coming around as I only have about 5 hours on them. They are starting to loosen up and get punchier and punchier. Comparing them to my oversized Marshall 4x12 w/ T75's they definitely have a really good growl and punch to them, still retain most of the aggressiveness, yet really does a better job with some of the mid-gain modules even more than the T75s do. (And I LOVE my T75s
). I can see why there are a lot of people that are starting to move towards the K100's from the T75s. I am definitely going to be trying these speakers out in my Ear Candy Buzzbomb cab, whenever I get it.
It has some of the mid-range characteristics of my G12-65, with more punch and high end chime of the T75's without the mid-range drop off of the T75's. It's a really well voiced speaker that sounds good at all volumes. For me, compared to the Green Machine and Sugarcones from Ear Candy, it sounds so much better. The Sugarcones really have to be pushed hard to sound good. At low volumes they were very fizzy with high gain modules. Clean stuff sounded amazing with the Sugars, and lower gain modules sounded amazing too. Higher gain stuff had this fizziness in the high end that bugged the hell out of me. The Green Machines sound good when you crank the amp too. But they suffer the same issue as the Sugarcone (for me at least) that at lower volumes they lose their muscularness.
The Celestion T75s and K100s don't do that for me. They sound great at both lower and higher volumes.
On another note, the G12-65s from Warehouse speakers are REALLY good. I compared them to the heritage G12-65s and I honestly will say the Warehouse speakers were a very faithful reproduction of them, and are much cheaper! On the V30 front, I highly recommend the Warehouse V30 for those who don't like V30's normally, because they have the "upper midrange bump" decreased some, and I feel it fits even better in mixes w/ it like that.
I do have an open back 2x12 avatar speaker cab w/ the Warehouse speakers Alnico black and blues, and I will have to say...the VX module sounds amazing with it
. I am going to move those speakers into my closed back 2x12 and try them there to see how they sound. I like the open back, but I think they can sound even better w/ a closed back
.
