I've been using a THD 2X12 Cabinet with WGS Green Berets for several years. The cabinet sounds great with my Maz 18NR and my Ghia, but I've been wanting to experiment with a 1X12. So for Christmas I picked out a J Design Thinline 1X12 Cabinet they had in stock (saved a few bucks) and asked my wife to get it for me for Christmas ... let's face it, really just an excuse for more gear. Cabinet is listed at 16 lbs...nice. I have an 8 Ohm Green Beret and figured I'd try it out.
I have been wanting a Celestion Gold for quite a while and started looking. This weekend, I spotted a great deal ... MF has it with a price drop and a 17% discount for $205 ... but it's backordered until 1/5/15. Anyway, I ordered it. I figured it will be worth the wait. Hopefully, the Gold and the Thinline cabinet will be a good match ... it will be about 20 lbs. lighter than my other cab ... and lighter always a good thing for my aching back.

I've been thinking about trying the Green Beret in a cab I have ... I have a Gold already....I've been looking for darker and moodier tones. The Gold is a really clear speaker and sounds nice with the cranked up Ghia.
Merry Christmas Bro !!

I have two of the JDesigns thinline cabs - a 1x12 and a 2x10. They sound great, and are super light. The 1X12 with the Creamback can't weigh much more than 20# total. Its a bunch lighter than my Ghia head! The 2X10 is a bit heavier due to 2 speakers. I think you'll really like it!

So it turns out my Cabinet should be here Monday and my Celestion Gold has been shipped 2 weeks early... not sure about delivery date due to Christmas. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

So I have the cab and the speaker ... Had to wait until today to open it... Weighs in at 20.1 lbs. I haven't had much of a chance to try it out other than to make sure it works ... It does. Here are a couple of pictures. Should make a nice sounding and very portable package!
