Hi everybody. I recently acquired a Z-Lux head and want to get a 2x12 cab for it. Would the 2x12 back line Z cab with the z12 speakers be best?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
I've got a Z-Lux combo that comes stock with the Z-12 Speaker. I tried numerous speakers in it and came back full circle to the Z-12. Doc has great ears and 99% of the time I end up with stock tubes and speakers in his amps.

I find Doc's cabinets really have been the best for his amps. I may swap speakers, but his cabinets work when other brand cabinets did weird things to the lows or sounded boxy. If you want a 2x12, and can afford it, I'd recommend the 2x12 Backline. I'm not a huge fan of the Z12, but most people love them and you can always swap them out later, if you want.

Thanks for the replies, gents.
DoobieK - which speakers did you go with for the Z-Lux? There seems to be a tsunami of love for the Z12 here...

I didn't have my Z-Lux long. I just didn't "bond" with it, as many people would say about gear that wasn't their thing. If I were to have one again, I'd try the Eminence GA-SC64. It's my favorite speaker for the Cure, Therapy and my Allens (blackface Fender clones)

I don't currently own all of these amps, but at one time or another I did.
Bonded with: Dr. Z's: Therapy, Maz Sr and Jr, EZG-50, Cure. I reeeaaallly like these amps. Currently own the Therapy, Cure and Maz Jr.
Non-Z: Allen Old Flame, Allen Encore, Fender Pro Reverb, Super Reverb, Twin Reverb (all Silverface that were Blackfaced), Fuchs ODS-30, Ceriatone 20 Watt Bass and Lead, Mesa Blue Angel. Currently own all but the Fenders.
Couldn't bond with Ceriatone OTS 50 or OTS 20, Mesa Nomad 50 and Z-Lux. A LOT of people like the Z-Lux, so I admit I'm in the minority here.
