What Black Shadow speaker is in the Express 5 25?

[Revelation]

I looked in the manual but I could not find which speaker comes with the amp with the 12" speaker.

The Express 5:25+ came with the Mesa Celestion v30 as the default. The 5:25 combo I believe was a 1x10 configuration.

If it was a 10" I think there is a vintage black shadow 10" that mesa briefly sold. I'm thinking E50 by Eminence? If so and you want it you'll have to hit the used market since I don't think it's made anymore. A 10" gold might be worth a try with that amp if it is 10".

Not to be confused with the vintage BS 12" Eminence VS-12 from the 80's.

The 5:50 combo I had sported the MC-90 BS, not to be confused with the 3-6 other versions.......

I played a Mark V 35 at a music store and this particular amp had a V30 speaker in it. I was surprised how similar my Express tone was to this amp. Granted the Mark V 35 has more distortion and different sounds, but it was in the same family.

The Express 5:25 combo came in both 1x12 and 1x10 versions. The 1x12 had the V30. (I changed mine out for a V-type and finally settled on a Greenback for less bass and more treble).
