Hey there,
This is my first foray into posting on rukind, but i've been soaking up the info for years silently. Howdy.
So i'm starting from the ground up with a jerry rig design, I've determined i'm going with a MC2505 or similar amp to power a 2x12 cab, likely a hard truckers design. The popular choice seems to be the SMS preamp here, I and it looks perfect (I am pondering the FYD TRP preamp?).
For speakers, of course a D120 or K120. This initial post is me looking for guidance on an eBay D120F, here:

The owner speaks of some paper rippling but stresses it is fine, what do you think about this? Anyone? Looking for any offers from kind folks as well.
Also considering the newer Purple Haze Alnico Tone Tubbys. I was in love with Trey's GD 50 tone... Is it possible to combine the Purple Haze with a D120 or K120 in a single 2x12 and power both nicely with a MC250, etc?
I live in Portland, OR. If anyone one here is in the area and is feeling the need to educate a younger (music undergraduate) player, please reach out, even just for the sake of talking Dead.
Thanks
