An electric guitar amp is going to severely roll off the high frequencies above 6k or so because it has no high frequency driver (tweeter), and that's where a lot of the shimmer and brilliance of an acoustic should be shining through.

The reverse is also true; plug a Les Paul into a full-range speaker or an acoustic guitar amp and it sounds terribly bright.
Thanks. I have an older Yamaha PA amplifier that would probably be fine. Any suggestions on suitable full-range not-too-expensive PA speaker for this (rated at 120 W)?
I'll also try the 65 twin with a different full-range extension speaker.
