Can I plug an all-tube 15W amp to a 2x12 cab?
Is this possible?
Excuse my ignorance... :(

Ignorance would be trying without asking first then blaming the amp or cab maker for bad results.

As Bluestube said you have to see if it is 4,8,or 16 ohm.

yep as long as the ohm rating is in the same range, as already mentioned.

I plug my 65 dlx speakers into my 5W Champ 600 all the time. Dime it out and it sounds freaking awesome :)

I was thinking about making a head out of my Champ 600 and making either a 1x12 or a 2x12 matching cabinet.

I think that would rock! I think Chet converted a Blues Jr. to a 2 x10 or 2x12 ?

Yea he did in a dark walnut wood finish and it looks sweet! I want to go with natural wood and a good layer of polyurethane on it.

Chet actually posted pictures of them. They are gorgeous. I don't think he did the work himself though. I think he had them made by a friend. They are indeed beautiful!
