I'm getting a 30th Anniversary Mazerati, and I have a 1x12 Z cab currently loaded with a V30, closed back (the cab is set up for my Therapy). I'll be playing with pedals for drive, mostly classic rock, jazz and praise music.
In your experience, what's the best speaker for the Mazerati? I've heard clips with the V30 that sound great, but EVERY clip of the V1 Mazerati sounds great.
I've got a pretty good selection of drivers to try with it, a Celestion Blue, Creamback M65, ET65, EVM12L, Z12, Eminence Reignmaker, Texas Heat, G12H30, a Carvin V-12 and a couple of others.
What's your favorite?

If I were getting one I'd run it through my 212 with Blues or my Z-Wreck cab

Question to V1 or V2 owners: what speakers did the original combos ship with? You know how Doc prefers the V30 with the Therapy, is there a speaker that he preferred with the Mazerati?

The Celestion Gold sounds great in the V2 Mazerati. I would assume the V1 30'th would sound great with that speaker as well. A single Blue would not handle the power. 2 Blues would. My second choice is the G12H30 Anniversary speaker in the Mazerati.

My v2 came with a Vintage 30. I replaced it with a Fane A60, last year. I like it a lot! I bet it would also sound great with a Celestine Cream. Good luck!

I hear that the amp sounds stellar with the WGS G12A

I've been considering a 112 with an Alnicco Cream for a while now. May the ultimate high-powered 112.

I went for a 12" Gold. Ordered it last night, so I should have it broken in by the time Z-Fest rolls around. Excited to be getting an Anniversary Mazerati, I can't wait for June!
The speaker's going in my Z 1x12 convertible cab, so it's going to be doing double duty. How do you think a Therapy will sound with the Gold?

If you can find any of Mark T's old clips he likely had a Gold in there (probably a tele as a guitar, though).

My Therapy loves the Gold, it really sings. I'm betting that the Mazerati LE will too.

Keith, the Z-Wreck cab comes with a Blue and a Gold, right? I'm thinking that it'll sound over the top good. I'm going to start out with the 1x12 Z cab open back, with a Gold. Looking forward to meeting you in June, Keith! Rumor has it that you're in for the Mazerati LE too!
This is so cool.

Doc knows I'm in for one 😎

Here is a clip of me playing through my V1 with original Z Best 212. I've played through other cabs in the past but none came close. They were made for each other. The speakers are a Celestion V30 and G12H30, fwiw.

Following. #13 just arrived today! Dont have a Z cab. Need to acquire one. I'm sure the Rati' will sound great through a Z-best but, I'm thinking maybe a creamback 1x12 for mine. Eventually, I'm going to order the matching cab (does anyone know what was loaded in them at Z-fest?) But, for now, I better not push anymore guitar gear to the wife.

I'm pretty sure the speaker compliment was the standard Vintage 30/H30 combination.

Though I'm sure it would sound great with a gold (the Ghia does!)

I bought the companion cab when I got my LE. Glad I did, the Gold 1x12 sounds good but the 2x12 V30/G12H30 combo is perfect.
