I have a great JTM45-esque PTP amp (e.g. Mullard, GEC and Philips NOS valves, real mustard caps, great transformers, F&T filter caps in vintage correct values) with a couple of extra features (i.e. cathode bias switch, Frondelli Master volume, FX loop). The amp is a beast. I have some Heritage series Celestion Greenbacks in a 2x12" cab. However, I suspect that the weak link is the cab. It's an open back 2x12" of unknown origin (NOT plywood but some sort of cheap and nasty stuff). A bit ugly too. I'm toying with the idea of getting a good custom made cab to house the otherwise fab G12M and G12H 55 Celestion speakers as I suspect the cab is not up to par with the rest of the rig.
Has anyone got direct experience of something similar (i.e. good amp and speakers but bad cab)? Is it worth saving up to get a good cab? Thanks!
