I LOVE the purple with that grill cloth. I got a black/gold QR but that looks really really nice.

It's got the Eminences in it - the standard Splawn deal of Gov's and Man O War. Sounds really great so far, even though I haven't been able to do a side by side comparison with my other cabs (an ancient Carvin w/ Celestions that my current all time fav and a Marshall 1960BV that my strat loves). I'll gig with it on Fri too, so that'll tell me alot. But by itself, I could tell straight away it's got some goods. I'm curious to compare to my other cabs, they're the best cabs I've found over the years. So far, the Splawn cab is very easy to love. I just know better than to make too many judgments until I'm really been able to thouroughly test against known gems.
I almost got to gig with it this past Fri, I got home from my show and it ws on my doorstep..............they must have done a late delivery.
Shred, by the way, I peeked inside and the Gov's are in the upper right and lower left corners. FYI

I tested them side by side...Vintage 30 and Governor...depends on what sound your looking for...I like the Governor better...bigger sound, less harsh, chunkier bottom. The Celestion sounded like cardboard compared (IMHO)...you might give up a little bit of the top end with the governor but you get that back with the Man O' War speakers when you get the x pattern

Man thats a pretty half-stack. I love that cloth with that color too. Wow, very nice man.
I still use my Marshall cab at rehearsal and its just too bright, not in a good way.. The Splawn cab cuts out those annoying harsh frequencies. Between the grill cloth and the Eminence, theres something there that just sounds nicer to me.

I'm not a big fan of V30's...as has been mentioned, they just have a glassy quality to them that can't be dialed out...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the grill is the salt & pepper basketweave. It looks a little better in person. I like the purple & gold thing, and actually the grill cloth looks more like cream/black instead of white/black. I wasnt' expecting that, but I like it. It's funny, I normally couldn't care less about colors and looks (except with women) but it's somehow different when you get to choose for yourself.
Shred - as far as I understand it, the Gov's are the G12-75 similars, and MOW are the V30 similar.
I'm going to spend some time today blasting some volume with them to help break them in. Not sure if they'll change much, but just in case I want to do what I can before my gig on Sat.
Craig - you mentioned your Marshall cab, what speakers are in it?
I'll let you guys know what I hear when I do my comparison. I have my Marshall cab here, but my other cab is in our gig trailer.

I gotcha....when I did my clips I recorded the bottom right speaker...so I guess I was recording the MOW...I'll have to try the governor....I think it'll sound better...
