What do you guys recon?
my old chap doesnt recon he knows many old 100w amps that used to be made using just a 12" speaker(is it same in the marshall mg100dfx as the marshall mg50dfx? or bigger magnet etc?)
would the celestion handle that 100watts in a gig all night?
although its celestion mazin quality i was just wondering, cheers in advance guys

i really don't know that much, but each speaker should have info on what it could handle. as far as i know there's not to many 1x12 100 watt amps.
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

My Gallien-Krueger Backline 100 is a 1-12 combo. It works just fine. I'll say it again, check out Weber VST for better speakers than Celestion, at lower cost, (even after shipping to the UK).

As long as you have your impedances matched up, it should work fine.
