Hey everyone!
I have a Carmen Ghia head that I am currently using with a 1x12 cab with an Eminence GB 128 (Greenback style speaker.)
I have a line on a ZBest 2x12, 2016 production with two Z12 speakers. The price is really good, I really like the design of the Z Best. I'm wondering if the American voiced Z speakers will work well with the CG?
I usually play my Ghia with the volume between 1 and 3 o'clock. I just play at home, when I jam I take a little grab and go combo, not my Ghia.
I'm also a bit vain as I really want a matching cab as my current one looks odd with the CG.

I have 2 Z-12's. One is in my MAZ8 and the other is in my Z-Plus, one is the studio cab and the other is the LT cab. The Z-12 are great speakers and I love them in those amps. I recently was thinking of replacing the Z-12 in my Z-Plus speaker(decided not to.) This led me to try my amps with all the different speakers I have.
I plugged each Z-12 into the Ghia. They sounded really nice, but my favorite speaker was the ALNICO Blue that is in the Ghia. My second favorite speaker with the Ghia was the 2x12 cab I have, which has 2 Eminence GB 128s in it.
Nothing I used sounded bad with the amp, just different.

I also have a WGS Blackhawk in a Z 1x12 Which I really enjoy. I’ve grown to like the alnico speakers If you really want a great grab and go combo, get one of the Z 1x10 combo cabinets put a 10” Celestion gold in there with the Ghia head and you have one of the best little grab and go combos available. You can always swap aZ-10 for the gold.

If the Z-best is a good price, then you can always sell it for what you paid if it doesn't meet your expectations. (or you could experiment with different speakers in the Z0Best)
There is no "This will be good (or bad)". Only your own ears can tell you if it's right. The Z speakers are well thought of.
I say go for it.

I bought the cab. I really like it, top notch build quality. Speakers sound great, might still try swapping stuff around, we will see.

Also, having it flat on the floor will give a different tone than standing upright. Learn which side has the port, and put that side on the floor. (more bass) Standing upright....less bass.
