I have tried a bunch of Eminence and weber speakers. I started out with the wizard, but had a really hard time getting a good clean tone with it. The RWB is really cool, nice and balanced. i just ordered a swamp thang, am looking forward to hearing it with the fuchs 50SLX. I have a pair of weber ceramic 1265's, but have had a hard time getting used to them, really different speakers for sure.I took them on a gig, and they seemed to wash out all over the stage, I guess you have to be really gentle with them or they crap out. The celestion century and century vintage are really gross sounding, no warmth at all, way too much highs for my taste. |

In one open back Avatar cabinet I have a set of Tone Tubby Alnicos. Clean, they sound phat and spanking with any amp. Distortion tones on the other hand leave much to be desired regardless of the distortion source(amp or pedal) and regardless of what amp I try. The distorted tones(not speaker distortion) have what I call speaker lisp. Not cone cry. I have heard this in many speakers in the past. I only keep the Tone Tubbies because the clean sound is so excellent
In another closed back Avatar cabinet I have a pair of English reissue g12H's. Clean with Voxy type amps they sound nice but otherwise dull, thin and no bottom.
Marshall 1960A 4-12 English G12T-75's. One of the best sounding cabinets I have ever heard, with any amp, clean or distortion tones.
Marshall 1936 cab with 2-12 English reissue G12M's. They are slightly darker than the G12T-75, a little Lisp. Ok sounding but not great.
2-12 Ampeg closed back(with partition in the center of the cab) with 2 English G12T-75's, sounds great with any amp clean or distorted.
I have gone through at least 50 or so G12t-75's in the past few years. I listen to each one for about 15 seconds, if it doesn't sound right I get rid of it. I have a collection now of wonderful sounding g12t-75's. |
