I'm not sure how transparent these EV SRO's are because I have no idea what this amp might have sounded like with the original speakers. From some of the docs that came with this amp - these speakers were installed in 1978. And, I'm not kidding on this: This combo weighs 113 lbs!
Nice "rack", huh...
Crazy weight!
That speaker wire looks a little small to me? Maybe I'm mistaken. I'm a big fan of using the heaviest gauge speaker cable/lamp cord you can find. In this case, heavy duty lamp cord may be all you'd need. What you have might be just fine though.
If you ever want to try having something lighter and get more of a wider tonal spread, I love the Eminence Swamp Thang. Dumb name, awesome speaker...if you had one of each, it might be a cool compliment. They have tons of bass. Not light, but I doubt they're as heavy as those.
Dang. You might save a ton of money on future back problems by getting a head cab and a 2x12 (I like the oversized Avatar Cabs that looks a lot like the standard Bogner 2x12 cabs myself). At least you'd have it in two parts. Best of luck to your spine either way!
