What is your preferred speaker configuration for pedal steel? Just the size and the number, to keep things simple. Whether it's a speaker cabinet or a combo amp doesn't matter. I'd just like to hear some thoughts on what you prefer, 1x12, 1x15, 2x12, 2x10, 4x10, something else?

Never tried anything but a 15 inch, but would like to try a 10 and a 15 inch together in the same cab.

My amp has a single 12" speaker in it, but it sounds best when I add a 12" extension cabinet. I voted 2x12.

By 2x12, do you mean two 12" speakers in the same cab, separate cabs, or both?

I'm voting 1x12 because I run stereo 1x12 cabs.

(1) 15" and (1) 2x12" for me. 4 x 10 can work really well too.

I'm currently using a 15" Emminence EPS-15C with an MB200 so I checked 15". I've used other speakers including several 12" and could be happy with either.

I've several amps with JBL E130 and K130 15" speakers that do the bulk of the work, but the BDR and extension cab with a pair of JBL K120's is a real sweetie when the stage volume is low.

One 15" speaker or 4 X 10 in stereo . I am not playing out any longer so it really doen't matter but it's fun experimenting.
