I don't even know what speakers are in my cab, but I love it.

What do you know about speakers?

Also, blue trumps gold in a real Vox.
I think that for the Vox tone that works everywhere for everyone I can't deny that blues are completely awesome. I'll qualify my Gold choice by saying they have a little more low end and slightly less treble so they work for my tastes.

Also, it's not fair because your Vox has magical toan spells all over it so can't be used as a comparison.

Got an Eminence Red Fang in a Marshall 18 clone. Sweetas. Been there since day one and will continue to stay there. Just been mucking with the Blues deVille to which have been recently fitted a ToneTubby hemp cone neo and a Jensen P12 alnico. Bloody beautifull Barry !
Picked up a Marshall 4x12 slant a week or 2 back for a good price. Looks to be quite old. Pulled the back off it to reveal....... no Celestions but NZ made Plessys. Dated to 1973. They sound ok too. Will A/B them with my celestion loaded 1960 slant one day. Too many amps not enough time. Less work more play.

Agree on all points.

The Eminence Red Fang, with updated rating to 50watts, is a great speaker. One of the best at articulating crunchy Marshall tones. I have one in a 1974CX and it always sounds so massive. Good cabs too. I could use another (not really...but I like 'em).

Tonight I played my BTR23 and recently I've had it through the big 65Amps 2x12. I've had to wind the preamp vol to get my desired break up. Tonight I used the excellent Red Fang in the Marshall 1974CX and was surprised at how much less preamp volume I needed because it was being squeezed through a single 12".

Something to add to the mix!

Have you seen the Space Jam website? It's still the original one from 1996:
