Hi,

In the showdown section on the 5 tube combos, guitarplayer seems to state that the only problems they currently see with the RG50TC is when it is played at high volumes.

It seems the speaker can not handle it.

I still have one more week till I decide on an amp, but I after leaning towards the RG75, I think I am just going to go straight tube with the RG50TC.

What I want to make sure of though, is that this high volume issue is related spedifically to the stock speaker that comes with the RG50TC?

It is a speaker issue and not a cabinet issue, is this correct?

The price on the RG50TC is great, so I really don't have a hard time going out and upgrading the speaker.

I just want to be sure this will solve my problem and it is not an issue with the cabinet itself.
 
I would try replacing it with a Texas Heat 12". They are $70 new and handle 150 watts RMS. Should be plenty of speaker to handle the power.

Or....

Add another 1x12 cab to it.
