I use this in a pine 1x12 cab with a Fender Princeton clone head. The speaker is absolutely great - plenty of power and headroom for the amp. It sounds very balanced, with crystal clear treble only Alnico speakers can give you. It's great for soul, funk, RnB, jazz, country, rock and roll. Also great for lap steel. Probably not the best fit for more contemporary aggressive styles, but if you are looking at it, those are probably not your thing anyway.
