While I'm waiting for my Maz 8 / G12H30 to be delivered tomorrow I'm dreaming up different ways to use it. I have a Marshall 4X12 w/Celestion G12T75 speakers, a Marshall 1965A 4X10 with the cool G10L35 speakers in it, and a couple of 2X12 Avatar open backs, one with EVM12L and the other with G12H30 speakers. Also a home build semi open back 1X12 with a Celestion Greenback. Oh and a Fender Tweed Deluxe that I built has a Celestion Blue in it that I can try. I should have a blast trying out the different configurations, and I'll report back when I get the amp delivered and have had a chance to try 'em all. What is the best sound that you've gotten out of your Maz 8 so far? Does it like open back more than closed back cabs? 10s or 12s? Single speakers or multiple? My intuition tells me I'm going to like it pretty much as it is in a 1x12 open back combo...

If I have a gig that is a small room, sometime I'll bring my old style Dr. Z 1x12 cabinet loaded with a Blue and put it on the opposite side of the stage. Ah, two blues. Nice!

I run my Maz 8 head through a 2x12 with a WGS Reaper and a Veteran 30. I've lugged this rig around a few times, the 2x12 is awkward.
For easier transport with the band, I use a combo and a 1x12 extension cab. A Weber Blue Dog in the combo and a Silver Bell in the closed back cab.
I like a mix of speakers, it seems to cover a broader range, tonally.

Maybe my Celestion Blue in a 1X12 cab that I built would be a good pair with the G12H30? Have any of you ever paired those up?

When my back decides to give me a break I'll pull the Blue out of my 5E3 combo and mount it in the 1x12 open back cab I made. In the meantime I can make up a 'Y' cord and just use it in the 5E3 cab. I sure am enjoying the amp! I am amazed at how 3 dimensional it sounds. The notes just bloom out of the cab...and the speaker is far from broken in. I'm sure that after a few hundred hours of play time that it'll sound even better.
