...it seems Fender has just released a new version of it's '65 Twin Reverb with a 15 inch speaker...and it's a little cheaper than the regular Twin Reverb because it has only one speaker in it.
I know I will be keeping my eye on e-Bay for them in a few months.
I know'd I should have bought that Thunderbolt a few years back..but...you know how it goes
I really want a 15 with el34/6550's...thus my thnderbolt woodie..I will keep me eyes peeled for the new fender though...I am wary foof them, btw...I was reading the custom shop vibrolux reverb reviews on HC, and for such an expensive amp...

I've told Dude before, just get a 1x15 cab blah blah blah Ohms blah blah just get a 16 Ohm speaker and your amps will be fine

Yes...but I have no 100 watt (or in this case 85 watt) amps...it's all about the clean headroom. You don't want any poweramp clipping when you use a 15.
By the way Oakland...you can always have the Twin rebiased for EL-34's or 6550's. It's not like you're stuck with 6l6's.

Those reviews are probably by whiners who are never happy with any amp they play or are bummed that it didn't make them sound like Stevie. Boo fucking hoo for them.

too right
"On the Moon, nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with Moonrocks."
I thought it was the other way around . . . the Speaker has to be "More" than the Amp.
Like, if Ohms was weight . . . you wouldn't put a "16 amp" on top of an "8 speaker" - but a "16 Speaker" will carry an "8 amp" just fine (but don't quote me on this, unless you find out that I'm right)
that's why I wire all my cabs to 16 Ohms, just plug in anything
