Hi There is no easy answer to this because it is a question of personal taste, but there are some ground rules, and the first is your style of music. If you are playing using only clean tones, perhaps for jazz or Mark Knopfler-style pickin, you would probably love the warmth of a pair of 12" speakers with alnico magnets. These are fairly low-powered when compared to a 12" with a regular ceramic magnet, and they will not really handle anything but the lightest bluesy grit, but for jazz they are awesome. Look for the name Jensen, but they must be alnico type, which means Ebay. If you are playing rock you probably want a standard 4x12 slant cabinet and there are more of these than you can shake a stick at, and they can go up in price to over 1000 dollars. When you consider you can buy the speakers in them for less than 100 bucks apiece (the 1000 dollar VHT cabinet is loaded with 4 12" Eminence Texas Heat speakers that you can buy for $75 bucks each!) Websites to look at for information include Marshall or Mesa for mid to upper price range, Behringer or Line 6 have a fairly decent offering at the low price range. The older (and obviously used) Peavey cabinets are also highly regarded. But if you go the Eminence or Celestion websites and look at the descriptions of literally dozens of the actual speakers (not the cabinets they come in) each with a different tone or focus you could spend forever and a small fortune loading a 4x12 with different speakers to find the "right" one. For what it's worth, my son bought a 600 dollar Marshall 4x12 loaded with Celestion G12-75s which he is replacing with the throatier Texas Heats. Your mileage will definitely vary. I suggest if you already own a guitar and amp that you take them to your local music store and try them with as many different boxes as you can. Phil

What can be inferred in this sentence You don't know him-- don't pronouncw an opinion upon him I said with warmth?
The sentence suggests that the speaker feels a strong emotional connection to the person being discussed, indicating that they believe opinions should be based on personal experience rather than assumptions. The use of "warmth" implies that the speaker is protective or caring towards the individual in question, urging others to refrain from judgment without understanding the full context. This reflects a theme of empathy and the importance of personal connection in forming opinions about others.

Can you use a combo amp and hook it up with a cabinet speaker?
You are not guarenteed to get a great sound, but typically it is possible. A combo amp is just a cabinet and pre-amp/power-amp(head) in one box. If your combo has a line out that you can use to run speaker wire to the back of your speaker cabinet, then most likely it will work. The issue is, will your amp have enough juice to run the speaker cabinets with enough volume? For instance, my head is running 750w into a 4x12 at 4ohms. If were to run a 100w combo power-amp into the signal then I would likely have break up of signal and loss of sound clarity trying to get enough volume to be effective. If your combo has tons of extra juce, however, go for it!

How can electric energy change in sound energy?
Electric energy can be converted to sound energy through the use of a device such as a speaker. The electric current passing through the speaker's coil creates a magnetic field that interacts with a permanent magnet, causing the speaker cone to vibrate and produce sound waves. The variations in the electric current control the intensity and frequency of the sound produced.

Any electronic staff offers speakers. It all depends on which type of speaker and what watt you need for it. I would suggest going into a store such as future shop and asking for their personally opinions.
