Speaker replacement for one of the V30s in my Recto 2x12?

[Whoopysnorp]

I have a Recto vertical slant 2x12 which i really love, but sometimes I think I'm getting too much of the V30 character. I'm using a Studio Preamp/Mark III rig, and sometimes I feel like all I'm getting is mids. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good speaker to pair up with the V30 to balance out the tone a little bit?

You might try a Beam Blocker on the top speaker.
It may be just what you're looking for and it's much cheaper than a new speaker.

Basically, it is supposed to get rid of the upper mid spike and blend it in with the rest of the tones.

I have a Recto 2X12 horizontal loaded with EV12L's. Brutal! With the Mark series. And heavy .

Definitely don't want a scooped tone, but something to even out that big V30 mid spike a little bit.

Greenbacks are nice-sounding speakers but I would have power handling concerns with a 2x12 and a Mark III. Plus, wouldn't the V30 just completely overpower it anyway?

I've had a few (don't know if I can mention this word here.... :lol: ) Marshalls that had 1 V30 and a 30 watt Heritage 30. Sounded phenomenal together.

In fact, my THD cab still has this setup and I love it with high gain amps. It can flub if you use a Recto though.
