Hello fellow Splawn lovers.
In addition to my Splawn QR, I also have a Mesa Roadking combo. I have a Mesa 2x12 recto cabinet that I use with it as well as the combo speakers. It works really well. to make a long story short, I had some water damage on the Mesa 2x12 cabinet. I am looking to replace it, and I really am impressed with the build quality on the splawn cabs, and was thinking of possibly replacing the Mesa 2x12 cab with a Splawn 2x12 cab.
Now....... here's where we get into the "fun" part. I know speakers are debated till people are blue in the face. I know there are lovers/haters of the V30 speakers in the Mesa 2x12. personally, I like the sound it has. But I am open to options. So the question is, Will the Splawn small block speakers in a 2x12 work well with the Mesa Roadking? Keep in mind, the road king is a rectifier, but its not the new metal thing. the Roadking is versatile, and hits twangy country cleans, gritty blues, vintage rock, and melt your face off recto metal. its a swiss army amp. it does everything. So the speakers should be a similar "catch all" style that isnt pegged to one specific style of music. so I want to know if you folks can provide any insight here. I would like to know if I can get a splawn cab that will sound outstanding powered by the Mesa Roadking. Or am I better off to just stick with the Mesa 2x12 again?
also, the other option is......... I could buy a Splawn 2x12 unloaded and put whatever speakers I wanted in it. OR I could even see if Scott and the crew would install a set of whatever I picked in it. I dont know if they do that, but it doesnt hurt to ask. just and idea.
SO I am open to options here people. Any and all feedback and advice, information would be greatly appreciated!!!!
