One thing you need to keep in mind is whether or not you will be using the amp chassis to drive more than one set of speakers and WHICH HD-130 head you have.


Most (but not all) Music Man heads have their speaker jacks wired in series and it says so on the rear next to the jacks. If yours is like this then a 4-ohm cabinet is a good thing.


If your amp has these jacks wired in parallel then an 8-to-16 ohm cabinet would be a better choice so you could still plug in an extension cabinet and stay at or above 4 ohms minimum.


Speakers are a matter of personal taste and pocketbook. Eminence makes many fine instrument speakers, as do Celestion, Electro-Voice, JBL, Altec, etc...


Not everyone will agree on ANY specific choice. You have to please YOU first!
