G212 Celestion V30 : Best 2x12 for the money

You can expect a 2x12 cabinet to be heavy, but the nice recessed handles on the side make this easier to carry than it should be. Construction feels solid and is very well made for this price point. I'm not 100% on what the wood used is, but it sounds great and is nice and heavy, but the weight is manageable with those nice handles! The removable front grill makes speaker swaps easy, though you won't really need to with the nice Celestion vintage 30's. The size is perfect for full sized amp heads requiring a big footprint to put them on. The mono/stereo operation is perfect for any situation and will let you run one amp in mono or 2 amps in stereo, just make sure to check your ohms. The vintage 30's are very well rounded speakers but seem to respond the best with heavy distorted tones but that doesn't mean they don't work well with other tones as well. I don't find them to be very capable of Fender style cleans, but that doesn't mean they can't produce good clean tones as well. I did not hesitate at all to purchase a 2x12 cabinet with great speakers, this is a great deal for anyone who wishes to get great tones for just a few bones.
