    THUNDEROUS

    I loaded up my Supro Saturn reverb mkI combo with one of these bad Larrys. The amp has always sounded good, but a little too dark and polite for my tastes with the stock speaker and a few others.

    With the retro 30 it has some serious HEFT and projection. The complex upper bass and low midrange from this amp is now very well articulated, and just the right amount of sparkle on top makes leads soar! In fact, the entire midrange is nicely shaped and punches with shocking power given the 15w or so weight class of this amp.

    If you have a small American-voiced combo that needs some help bringing the RAWK, this is the speaker to use!! THANK YOU WGS!

    12" retro 30 75 watts

    put both in a 4x12 with wgs 65's i already had. they do match up very well. some reviews elsewhere i've read have said the 65 doesn't have the decibel level that it's rated at. the heck it doesn't. the reason i put the 75's in was because i had two celestion v30's in that cabinet that weren't as loud as the wgs 65's. and yeah i was tempted since one of your combo suggestions is the 75 and 65. both match up volume/decibel wise in the cab. looks to me i've found the speakers that give me the tones i was looking for. thanks guys
