Obviously, we're all going to recommend an Orange 4X12. I think you'll find a better bass response. I have vintage Marshall 4X12's and they definitely don't sound as good as my Orange 4X12's.

It's really hard to argue with a 4x12 with Vintage 30's for an OR120.

However, using a 2x12 with Vintage 30s is also nice, because the speakers get quite a bit more of a workout when you're only running two of them.

I would advise a cab equipped with Celestion Blacback G12H-30s. Excellent speakers they are IMO. Mine are used in a Marshall 1960a cab but a nice orange cab would also do the trick and complete the look aswell ;)
