Randy, the speakers in the Nashville 112 are not the same ones that are in the Classic 50. Notice the large magnet on the Nashville 112 and the smaller magnet on the Classic 50.

However, back in the mid '90's, Hartley Peavey asked that I visit with Curly Chalker at our Peavey Nashville office in order for Curly to try the various amps out with his steel. The bottom line is that Curly ended up choosing the Classic 50 two twelve inch speaker version. Go figure. If it sounded good to him, that's all that he needed to know. Johnny Cox was with us at the meeting in Nashville. True story.
