Members BryanFTWL Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 I love V30s but MAJORLY dislike that high end sizzle they have. No matter what amp I hear running through a v30 it has that sizzle to it that I just don't like. What other speaker paired would help calm that down some?I hear great things about 65s mixed? Also, I don't really give a {censored} what brand it is as long as it sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BryanFTWL Posted September 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 Wouldn't a 30 watt speaker make my cab only handle 120w?Also, does this combo work better in an X-pattern or another patter? If other, explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members broken_sound Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 It's all about 65's. such a good mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Holy-diver Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 I don't like speaker mixing. Ideally get another cab with 4 different speakers. Or change all the speakers.The mesa v30s are relaxed compared to the normal imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BryanFTWL Posted September 25, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 v30's are 60 watts. I've always been told that rather than adding up the total number you add up the lower wattage speakers to the total number of speakers in the cab. So: 4 v30s (Mesa 70w)=280w 2 v30s + 2 h30s=120 Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric Hellstyle Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 changing only two speakers won't make a huge difference as the v30s tend to dominate most speakers on the marketI just swapped a pair of Mesa V30's for Scumback H75'sthe V30's were definitely louder and more presentmaybe a weber silver bell would work? (100db for the 50w version, 101db for the 30w) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct. I had 75's paired with Governors (supposedly based on the V30) and that combo was huge. The mid heaviness of the governors really complimented the slight scoop in the 75's. Complemented each other well. I've also heard great things about the H30 and V30 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Valtiel Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 It's all about 65's. such a good mix. 65's are by far my favorite speakers, but their sensitivity is 3db less than V30's, I would think they would get drowned out if in the same cabinet.

Members soundgardener75 Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 I thought the V30's with G12T-75's worked well together. At least that's what I've heard when I played it through my friend's JVM 205. Gig levels at his large living room, I didn't hear the high end sizzle of the V30's or the ice pickiness the 75's are notorious for. And I played my J5 Tele, on P-90 mode, it's about as bright as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rydock Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 Are you guys sure that mesa v30s are 70w? Where was this confirmed, because the mesaboogie site seems to suggest that they are 60w. What clones are similar to mesa v30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thenakedarab Posted September 25, 2010 Members Share Posted September 25, 2010 I don't think blending the V30 with something else is going to get rid of the spike. Kinda like if spraying febreeze won't get rid of the smell of {censored}, just cover it a little, but you'll still get the underlying base of feces. Not saying V30's sound like {censored}, I actually like the Mesa OEM V30's a lot. The regular ones are OK, good speakers, but after long playing times at high volumes the mid spike does grate on the ears. I'd recommend selling the V30's and picking up a couple WGS, Vet 30 & ET65 to be exact. I have them in my combo, and they are killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
