i have v30s. Mainly because when i got the cab I didn't know too much about speakers and figured it was a decent bet to go with the "industry standard" for the tones i was after. Also, the fact they came stock in cabs helped too.

Just a note on the S12, bored as **** and so just been searching for info on them, apparently Celestion have something similar in the works again :twisted:
read here
I guess since the EVM12L is back, Celestion have taken a bit of notice?
Could be bollocks though :P

I have Jensons in my Laney VC30. I am sure that I could probably find something "better" but I am content  with the amp as it is. Maybe when I have nothjing else to think about I might change but the sound is good to my ears.

Switched from vintage 30 to a G12k-100 in my Engl Thunder, So much more depth and clarity to the sound, lets me push my mids and treble up without it sounding harsh, like it did with the vintage 30.

Celestion G12H-30s with 55Hz bass cones do everything I need.

I've also got a pair of early 60s Alnico Blues and also some Goodmans alnico speakers that are very similar and have a gorgeous compression, well, before I blew them anyway, lmao.

Used to have some 50w purple-back Fanes which are the ones to have if you're a Fane speaker fan with a Hiwatt - some classic Live At Leeds tone going on with those babies.  Shame Fane went tits up, I always wanted to try their 100w alnico speakers.

Scumback H75 (which is a precise late 60's pre-Rola Celestion G12-H30 copy).
  I have tried a LOT of speakers, with a lot of amps, and the H75's are as near perfect for a "do-it-all" speaker as I have ever heard.  Pity that they are just so damned expensive to import into the UK.

Keep 'em coming!!

I'll leave it running for a few more days and then pull together the results.

To say that Celestions are running away with it at the moment is an understatement !

I've got V30's in my 4x12 and 1x12.

I was thinking about experementing with some different cones but 'can of worms' doesn't even start to cover it...

I have a V30 and a Fane Alnico in a 2x12 Matamp cab, gives me what i want. Have previously tried G12H, G12M and Hot 100's in the same cab, all were ok but didn't have the depth and attack i was after.

I've got Hot 100s in my 4x12 and 2x12, which I often run together as a 3/4 stack. Individually I prefer how my 2x12 sounds, despite the fact that it's got the same speakers in it, and is made from the same wood.

I like the Hot 100s because of the clarity of sound, combined with the rich bottom end I get using them. I used to use a 1960 lead A style cab with G12-T75s and they were so toppy, I felt like they were slicing my head off!

I've got an open backed 1x12 with a Vintage 30 in it, which is good too, but perhaps a little nasal, for want of a better word.
