I do know amps, but nah, I only know a thing or two about speakers, especially, I know when it sounds good. The Vintage30 sounded bad in my avt50 (in my opinion), and the 4ohm celestion g12m70 works great with the amp. A friend of mine favours old JBL speakers with alnico magnets and aluminum domes, but good as they are, they may not be to all tastes; they sound INCREDIBLE distorted, but are not as sweet as some clean, though they handle massive power and are of very high quality. I am thinking about trying replacing the paper dust cap in the center of my g12m70 with an aluminium one - I bet it will make this amp sound deadlier. Cheers!
