The 1960AX has Celestion Greenback speakers for a raw, classic sound. They are rated at 25W each for a total of 100W in the 4x12 cab. You'd have to be little careful at higher volume levels when using a DSL100 head with that cab.
That's the reason I suggested looking at Avatar cabs too. Since you are buying factory direct you can get a great quality birch ply cab for $529 + shipping with all the appointments and the Celesion speakers of your choice: Vin30s, Helletone 60s (prebroken in Vin30s), Greenbacks, 12H30s, Hellatone 30s (prebroken in 12H30s), G12T75s, a combination.....whatever. Have it your way cab shopping. And their Vintage style cabs look great. http://www.avatarspeakers.com/
