I currently have a Fender Mustang V Head and Cab. I'm looking to get a genuine tube amp. I'm leaning towards the Supersonic head since I have a 4-speaker cab. However, I keep reading mixed reviews about the Celestion Rocket 50 speakers in the Mustang V cab. At this point I have "amplifier-review-overload" from all the mixed feedback. Thoughts?

Option 2 for me (I think): Dump the Mustang V and get a Supersonic Combo or maybe a Twin.

Oh what we do for that over-driven tube sound!

The offshore-manufactured Rocket 50's are the nadir of Celestion's food chain. I'd dump the entire Mustang rig and opt for the SS combo.

I am a fan of Celestion speakers with one major exception....the Rocket 50 :(
