Stupid idea to replace V30s in 4x12 for EVM12L ?

[JP15Guitar]

I have a 2011 era Standard (traditional) Mesa 4x12 cab loaded with British V30.
I have Mark V and VII amps.
I am looking for more low-end definition and less mid and highs spike.
Am I out too lunch to replace the four of them for the Electro Voice ?
Is that cab a good candidate for the swap ?

Thaanks for your help.

Oh for sure. You'll probably get a number of suggestions so personally I like mixing EVMs with v30s. But that's just me.

Welll.. if one finds the tonality of the evm pleasing then by all means go for it

Had a thiele cab with evm many years and finally grew tired of how it sounded and reacted to playing. Later on in my GAS journey bought similar cab again and all the qualities I got fed up were still there.. decided that EVM is not for me and would keep the V30s in the recto cab - that’s just my observation and ears

For Mark V I have dropped the 2200 slider to same level as 750 and it’s not spikey. Bass is defined when having the 80 slider in 3/4 of the range about.

well the Thiele EVM is indeed a boat anchor in a small package. LOL

I do find the EVM by itself works well with the Marks (V:90 or IIC+ in my case) but with other Mesas it's not my #1 choice. But do prefer it mixed with something else like the v30. But conversely I can't do all v30s either too much mid-range bump goodness for me.

But then I never sell anything so I don't have to buy anything back, however finding room is becoming a challenge
