Brow - you could always phone Stuart at Award Session, I have found him to be quite knowledgable as to what speaker to use to get a specific tone.

check out thiele on web....engineer who developed this unique cab....so it is diff. than regular ported cab-I own two..one has an electro voice evm 12 L speaker in it-very efficient 200 watt speaker-bright and unforgiving, but it has puch and bottom for days-great for modern playing/ultra dynamic on cleans-the other has a celestion v30-great combo
-I a/b'd them with a friend's 4x12 mesa boogie rectifier cab-I could not tell the diffence and bought the cab on the spot-amazed at the bass-sounded just like a 4x12
-this cab is sold by mesa boogie..maybe exclusively,but you can find them floating on the bay...if you find one with the ev, it is vey popular bc it is not made anymore!!boogie also carries them, but with a v30, I think-check out the mesa boogie website..also go to grailtone.com and click on boogieboard-a lot of info on thieles there when you do a search

Hey guys.

I've decided that I'm gonna go for 1 of the Award-Session Pilot cabs over the Orange cab.

I think I'm going to speak to Stewart at Award-Session to see what he suggests for a speaker, and then I'll get it on order :)

I gave Stewart at Award-Session a call today as regards possible speakers for my 1x12 cab, and he kept me on the phone for 20minutes telling me all the differences between speakers, open/closed back cabs etc.

He eventually boiled down to it and recommended a Celestion G12 80 (Classic Lead) to me for my cab, so I think I'll give 1 of those a try in an open back cab to see how I like it :)

Wish i wasnt so cr@p on the phone, maybe i'd talk to the guy too.

I really like the idea of getting one of his cab's, instead of a marshall 2x12 for my JTM60 head.

I'd be very interested to hear what a JTM60 is like in that cab setup! i know for sure i don't like closed cab's...
