[QUOTE="trimix, post: 123908, member: 2238"] I had two Mesa open-back 1x12s when I got my RM50. Blew one of the stock Black Shadow C90s using a Sound City on a session, so I bought a WGS Veteran 30 to try in it's place. I dug using it in combination with the other C90 loaded cab. WGS recommended combining the Veteran 30 with their ET65, so I ordered one to give it a shot. Good combo with the Vet 30 cab, but I noticed the ET65 in the open back cab had a real 3D sound all by itself. Easily my favorite in an open back of those three drivers. Then I ordered a Randall closed-back 1x12 loaded with a Celestion Greenback. Loose bottom, not great. I tried swapping it with my favorite so far, the ET65, and again not great. It seemed the high end reflecting off the back of the cab and back through the driver got harsher than the open-back. Next I ordered a Randall CB412-75 to give Celestion G12T-75s a go. Good chunk, mid-scooped, bright highs. Pulled the upper left driver and swapped in the Veteran 30. There's that mid-range bite back that was missing. Pulled the lower right driver and swapped in the Greenback, less aggressive, easier break-up option. Tried the G12T-75 in the open-back and that controlled bottom was gone leaving just a really bright top. That's been my RM50 speaker journey so far. The WGS ET65 in an open-back 1x12 has great bottom-end and the high-end is sweet. The closed-back 4x12 sounds tight with G12T-75s in an X-pattern with either Veteran 30s or Greenbacks providing the snarl. [/QUOTE]
