Hello all. I am newer to the forum but been a dr z user for about ten years. I recently traded my maz 18nr head for a z-28 1x10 combo. Was sold from the first chord. Love the volume level of the amp and the mid character with the red fang. I ended up adding a 1x12 speaker to sort of add a little high and low, but I love the mids and efficiency of the fang.
The other night I noticed some weird artifacts with the fang. It is making noise moving in and out. I have to take the combo apart and try and see if I can turn it and make it stop, but i fear damage to the voice coil.
So here is my dilemma. I love the fang. They no longer make the alnico fang. I have been searching used, but have not been able to find one. So I am looking for speaker suggestions.
The 12” speaker I use with it is the eminence cv-65. This is an efficient speaker with a sensitivity around 100. Most of the alternatives seem to be much less efficient.
I am currently looking at :
Celestion greenback ten- not very efficient
Tone tubby silver bullet- same efficiency issue
Celestion gold 10”- don’t like the 12” gold with this amp very much
Eminence ceramic red fang- am I going to miss the warmth?
Any help would be great
For reference I am playing rock and alt country with a G&l bluesboy with alnico fralin pickups
Thanks in advance
Dave
