Alright, I posted here a few days ago talking about getting a combo amp, and I got a lot of great feedback. The feedback helped me determine that I don't really want a combo and that I should just buy what I do want, even if it's slightly more than I'd like to spend right now. What I want is an SMS into a power amp into a 1x12.
So my question is to all of you SMS users out there, or to people who know something about speakers, is what 12 inch speaker do you like coupled with the SMS and a power amp (the amp I'll be going with is probably a Crown XLS1000)? I've read through the forum and I've seen many people writing about liking the Weber Neomag and Cali models, the Tone Tubbys, the Eminence Commonwealth, the Beyma Liberty, and the old Peaveys with aluminum dustcaps. I want a bright, musical sound, preferably with the ringing highs that an aluminum dust cap can provide. I don't play with a lot of lows in my eq, but I can't stand speakers that only give brittle, ice-picky highs. What speaker do you like with your SMS?
