RE: Speaker recommendations for early 70's ampeg v4 head w/ matc

Hello!  I'm currently using vintage 30's in the cab, but they're soooo ice picky.  Not that noticeable in a band mix, but definitely super noticeable on it's own.  I play mostly pretty aggressive and loud music, ie punk.  No jazz or light rock.  Mainly just use an overdrive pedal to add some dirt.

I think I like the retro 30 the most out of all your speakers from the videos.  But I am somewhat interested to see what your thoughts are on mixing retro 30's with reapers (normal or hd). 

Would a normal reaper hold up matching with 60 watt retro 30, with a 120-150 watt head? 

Or would the hd's be the way to go? 

Or would it be better to mix the vets with the retros?

 

Thanks!

 

The Reaper/Retro 30 pairing is very, very good ... so I'd say go for it, but definitely make the Reapers HP!
