It's been historically impossible to make a good sounding, articulate 12" guitar speaker capable of handling 100 tube watts. The one that comes to mind is the Cast Frame EV EVM12L ... a BEAST of a speaker ... even a 2x12 with a pair of them would break your back! Plus, they just don't sound good ... the problem is that everything has to be so heavy and stiff to take the power that it looses the nimble articulation that is so important to guitar tone.
If you can afford them, a pair of our Blackhawk HP AlNiCo's would work really well ... if not, our Britt Lead and Liberator are both close ... although if you really open her up it could still be a bit much for them. Same goes for the HM75.
tell us about what tone you're going for...
hard rock
heavy metal when in the mood
