212 Cab to go with Orange RV50
So I sold my old Crate BV4x12 with V30s in it tonight and am looking for a nice 2x12 to take its place that goes well with my Rockerverb 50 Mk II. I really, really want to get an Avatar Vintage cabinet with Greenbacks, but I keep reading that Amp Wattage == Speaker Wattage is a bad idea if you continually crank your amp (which I do.... often) and don't want to melt your speaker coils.
With that being said, is that necessarily true? If so, what would be a good set of speakers to plop into the Avatar? I am interested in Eminence, but I've never tried any model before and do not know much at all about them.

That's what I've read on some other forums lately..
I'm looking more towards the Private Jack, primarily due to its above-average reviews and 50w power rating.

Love the Swamp Thang/Texas Heat combo, personally.

bear in mind eminence has the rep of being a bit optimistic with their ratings. the PJ might be no more safe than a greenback, in other words. that being said, celestion has the rep of being pretty conservative with the ratings, so two greenbacks may well be fine. it's your call, really.

these guys look cool if you like the natural look
http://www.trmguitarcabs.com/Finished_cabs.html another note is that WGS makes the invader which is a 50 watt version of the green beret (greenback clone). the tone did change a bit acording to them. perhaps e-mail them with questions about speaker selection and get some recomendations.

Call Dave at Avatar and ask him his opinion as well. Also look into their Hellatone brand.
When I got my Avatar I got Classic Lead 80 and a G12H30 resulting in a 60w (conservative) cab. Ippon knows his speaker combinations pretty well so def listen to him.

Creambacks. Pricier, though not by much.

Scumback M75, closest to the G12M pre-Rola era Greenback if you have the $$$ to burn.

Yea, those too. Though I might recommend an H75/M75 or two M55s in a 212. The medium magnet 75Hz models tend to lack the sub-bass kick unless they're in a 412, and the heavy magnets tend to lack an open high end. H75/M75 combo is great. |

I'll call Dave tomorrow and ask him about what he thinks about the ratings on the Private Jack. I'm trying to keep the speaker choice limited to what Avatar offers, because I don't want to dish out a heap of money for some Scumbacks in a 212 that I will not be using everyday (college takes up this whole 'free time' thing). Same goes for the Creambacks, I'd love to take a look at them but I'd rather get an already loaded cab.
That being said, there is an Avatar 12 on craigslist with a V30 and Eminence Wizard or something similar for $250. I could potentially just buy some broken in PJ's or Creambacks and throw em in later on..
