• I love these speakers!!

  
  As reviewed by Rich on 5/25/2010

  They deliver a great tone for the price. I'm talking like boutique good! These speakers are great for anyone either starting out or an experienced player. They're great for everything from warming up before a show to home recording! I'd easily put Blackstar up there with Marshall, Vox, or any other leading amp!

• Blackstar Venue Series HTV-112 Guitar Cabinet

  
  As reviewed by Chris on 4/12/2011

  I have a Blackstar HT Club 40 that I matched up with this cabinet and the sound quality has been greatly increased. The small stack looks great on stage and there is no longer the need for a guitar amp stand. I know some players don't care for the Celestion 70/80 speakers, but I have to tell you they sound great in this amp and cabinet. Like Blackstar states, they have been matched for their amps. The construction of the cabinet is top notch with the tight tolex and steel corners. If your looking for the perfect portable small stack, this is it. I can even cover larger outside gigs by miking this unit with a Shure SM-57 or Audix i5. I think if you give this set up a try, you'll be very pleased with the results.

• Good Cab, not so good speaker

  
  As reviewed by Mark on 8/16/2010

  First off, I bought this to use with an HT-5, because I wanted a 12" rather than a 10" speaker. The cabinet is really well made, but I think it is the same size as the 2x12 cabinet, it is really large and heavy. Second, the speaker is a Celestion 70/80-some people love it, some hate it. I personally don't really like it, I think they could have made this cab a little higher in price and put a better speaker in it, like the Vox or Egnater cabs in this range that have Greenbacks and such in them, but I guess it was the price point they wanted. I replaced the speaker with an Eminence Texas heat, and it sounds a lot better to me with the HT-5, it really tightens up the loose overdrive channel. But then again, I now have 270 in this cab, and I think there are other options just as good or better for the money. I would definetly try this out with the head you want to use it with before you buy....
