Faital Pro 12pr310 sealed?

[ALRieseberg]

My V4 is holding up nice. I have backlined it a few times and I get nothing but good reactions. Those 16ohm 12pr310 speakers are definitely a good find for sealed cabs. I have been wanting a 2x12 and was considering splitting it into 2 cabs, but the v4 sounds so good and is easy enough to haul around.

How is the top end of the 12PR310?? Would you consider it it bright but still balanced?? How is the bottom end? Do they breakup nicely?

I see you are using a Reeves? I used to play guitar through an old Hiwatt dr504 so I am familiar with that circuit. I would guess you wouldn't have any problems with getting enough brightness. I have been using a sunn 300T and a GK 700RB with mine and the cab sounds really well balanced and the speakers handle overdrive from the amp well. They seem to be on the more responsive side of things which, in my experience with the Hiwatt, is definitely a plus. I tried a few different speaker set ups with the hiwatt (although we're talking guitar, so bass mileage may not be exact) and found that it seemed to do better with higher wattage speakers with a higher SPL. everything else sounded a little flubby.

Okay gotcha. Thanks for your input! This thread has been super helpful.
