Best Scumback Speaker Combo for 2x12

[badco74]

I just purchased a 65 Amps Empire and I was wondering which Scumback speakers you would recommend for a 2x12 cabinet to go with this amp, I mainly play blues rock, classic/hard rock and punk rock so I am looking for speakers to cover these sounds. I am thinking of either a M75/M55 combo or a M75/Scumnico combo, if anyone out there has any ideas please let me know.

I just put a M75/scumnico combo in a diagonal 212 this morning. I've only played it at bedroom levels but so far it sounds amazing. I gave Jim at Scumback a call and it was between 2 M75's and the M75/Scumnico mix. He said the latter would give a little more chime and high end.

I've heard some say the M75 and H75 are the way to go!

I really like a J75/M75 mix for M style amps and a J75/H75 for D style amps...

I say J/M for that rig!

I had the 100 watt M75, I'd say it was quite bass heavy, I'd stay away from the 55Hz given that experience. I went with the H75 LHDCs in my sealed oversized 2x12, but will say they are more focussed and better for mid to higher gain, kind of modern compared to a Greenback RI I had IMHO, but can cover the same ground voicing wise. For mid to lower gain, I have a WGS ET65, which has a lower voicing, is full and thick, more raw, and works well with lower output PAFs. I've tried many many many speakers to come to this.

The M75 and H75 is a great combination.

Hey Gulliver,

What's your opinion of the H75 LHDC's for a clean tone? Can you get a decent fender type clean from them at higher volumes?

AKA: BMFUC combo.

My personal experience, buy 65 watt M75 and H75's if you can get by with 130 total watts. Max 50-60 watt amp. Get the FBI too; worth every penny... My 2c's.

Give Jim at Scumback a call. Tell him what sounds you're going for and he'll tell you what to get. I know the M75/H75 is really popular around here. Jim steered me away from that for what I was going for.
