I'm not sure if it's the speaker
or a bad power tube causing the buzz I am
hearing. Open low E is the worst and the
Buzz starts right away and gets gradually
better. If I hold the one el34 with
a cloth it mostly will go away.
Power tube, voice coil rub?
What do you think?

you said if you hold one power tube it mostly goes away you could have a cracked restor on the back of the tube socket, hey hey take it in to see a tech. at the music store

Thanks Michael, what is the restor and what
does it look like. I put in a new set of
power tubes and the noise is mostly gone.
The problem is my house vibrates when I
turn it up, so it's hard to decipher if there
is still something there. When I turn it
up it seems like the whole amp vibrates
at certain pitches.

Try swapping the 1st (V1) preamp 12AX7 for another. If it's a custom amp, ask your manufacturer for a tube spring retainer to put on the EL34s. I had this same problem once and this fixed it. I think this is why I moved on to heads vs combos.
If you have an extra cab around -run the speaker cable to it and see if the buzzing stops.
