Hi guys,
Long time, no post. Looking for some advice on a cab and any comments much appreciated.
I don’t need to break the bank on one in reality, so don’t need to go high end.
I sold my tube head and cab recently. Cab was a Harley Benton 1x12 with a vintage celestion 30.
My first cab, so nothing really to compare it off while I had it. I had always used combos before.
I got a Quilter 101 mini head recently, and demoed it through a 2x12 Marshall cab, and it sounded pretty good.
I wouldn’t fit a 2x12 cab into every venue I’d play, so it might not be practical to go down this route but has me thinking at the same time...
A wee Quilter head on a 2x12 cab looked a bit odd though

Very tough to beat the Harley Benton 2x12 Vintage 30 cabinet for the money. I generally prefer a 2x12 cabinet to a 1x12 myself, it sounds a bit bigger and more open like for like.
Those Quilters are capable of chucking out some serious power so go conservative on speaker ratings I would say.
The specification is a bit vague but I would bet 100W would only be delivered into a 4 Ohm load?
That being the case a pair of 16Ohm V30 in parallel would be easily safe enough. If you wanted to extract the absolute maximum then a pair of 8 Ohm units would serve.
If you have to stay with a 1x12 then a single 16R V30 would do, probably even an 8Ohm?
ICBM might have better info. These rating would be marginal for a good 100W VALVE amp!
Dave.
