Vintage 30s are great speakers, but I would not have even considered them for a vintage Ampeg. When I think Vintage 30, I think of the Mesa Boogie DC-30 that I used to have. Not really the same thing at all.
I'm down to three Ampegs, and the M-15 and the hopefully to be working soon 835 both have original Jensen 15 inch speakers in them. The 835 is a C-15-N. I'd have to look at the model number on the M-15, but it's an alnico model.
I also have an R-12-R Reverbrocket (blue sparkle, 6v6s) that has a Celeston Blue in it. Speaker was made in England - I don't think they do that anymore. Anyway, that amp has a certain kind of magic with humbuckers that is hard to describe.
