Others feel free to chime in as well....
Do you run your Stangray with the Celestion Gold? If so, do you think you loose anything vs the blue? I'm considering putting golds in my 2x12 open back Z cab so that I can run my 6545 thru it as well. I'm just really happy with the blues and the Ray and don't want to mess anything up there.
Thoughts?

I'm considering putting golds in my 2x12 open back Z cab so that I can run my 6545 thru it as well. I'm just really happy with the blues and the Ray and don't want to mess anything up there. Thoughts? They are really close. But they aren't identical. The Golds lose just a trifle of top end to my way of hearing it. But also in the deal the Golds gain a much better bottom end - they don't fart out like the Blues sometimes do. The key lower to upper mids that sound so beautiful in the Blues sound almost identical in the Golds. I was very worried about this when I bought the Golds because I was so pleased with the Blues. But I've been running my Stingray on a single Gold ever since I got them. I have even planned to replace my Blues with Golds for the very same reasons you've stated, but I just can't bring myself to pull out the blues - they do sound marvelous after all. So in the end, I've decided to leave my 2x12 with Blues alone and just use it in my studio, keeping the Golds in my THD 2x12 cab wired stereo for my dual-head stage rig. That said, if I had to live with one cab for everything, there is no question: I wouldn't hesitate to run a pair of Golds, because virtually every amp I have sounds great through them, and with two of them I can run any amp I have here on them.
