    I bought this speaker because it has good reviews.

    Playing on a Randall RG50TC hp that has a not too bad, I wanted a more dynamic, beefier and more diffuse. I am 150% satisfied.

    The sound is clear, clean, dynamic, versatile ... who could ask for better.

    Question quality is not "hand made" but for that price it's huge. I do not regret my purchase.

    I used a baffle harley benton live for 2 years and has done everything! is a solid baffle other than the Tolex is to my taste a bit fragile and really convenient because there are only two speakers
    the value is obviously the best available.
    on the other hand, there is a precise relation to those equipped with Celestion V30 speakers. I have read many opinions on this speaker extolling the virtues of this speaker in the V30 sound quality.
    This cabinet is super good though not suit all styles of music. In fact, to have played a lot of time with the sound of Celestion V30 is steep and very aggressive too dry to play rock 70 80's 90's show, for hard rock metal screaming bloody Tartar etc i…

    Finally super cabinet but watch the style of music you do, I personally have sold for when I compare it to render a softer marshall no picture

    Cabinet has received 48 hours notice ... so hot
    J'aime bcp diffusion of sound in the speaker, good sound projection, and present serious
    I tried the marshall 1912 and 1960
    Unbeatable value for money
    We will see the strength in time but I am delighted with my purchase

    It'll be a year or two I have.

    I love the V30, the very first time branch is seen immediately that here must more than any other HP I had tried before.

    The finish is average, the Tolex is fragile even if I never had a problem but I do not carry that.

    The inside I do not know I did not disassemble. I'll have to isolate the tinker a little better I think.

    In any case the whole dynamic is trs I play with a JCM900 head and it sends wood! I was able to compare brands like Framus, of course the finish is less beautiful but the sound APRS ... pff be made from a pro or be in concert trs ca often not worth to double the price.

    I use this cabinet for almost a year, its value for money is unbeatable!
    It is essential to honing HP before getting an opinion, the break will be under acute remove the excess.

    This cabinet just waiting to be the best if we want to take time for them to undergo some changes
    I removed the foam which is inside the cabinet and matifies great sound (but why they put it ???).
    To obtain a brighter sound and more vintage, I varnish the inside of the baffle (5 good layers thick, more mastic at all angles) and then I cut openings in the rear.

    I am totally satisfied with this speaker and I even think I'm going to take a second.

    I must have a hundred hours of use, I have tried many DIFFERENT kind mesa cab ....... and trs is doing well!! qd careful it does not even sound of a mesa but it comes close to trs prs if we take the time to honing hp! the price of the mesa is not any justification for such a small noise diffrence.
    Personal, I made no changes as the mine is fully waterproof, whether it is good for tench, gently press the 2nd hp and is expected to raise, if so, forget aretes.pour part sealant on the foam I do not know, I'll essayer.le Tolex is a bit thin but you be careful in the choice manipulant.je would do this without hsiter

    Then I told myself that instead of slamming EUR 2000, I was going to attempt a manipulation to 200 euros by changing the HP from my cab.

    So last week, I made this manip: 198 euros for the HB in 2x12 V30 (received in 2 business days), 6 euros Cable (2.5) and 1 euro for the base jack, total 205 euros.

    So last week, I made this manip: 198 euros for the HB in 2x12 V30 (received in 2 business days), 6 euros Cable (2.5) and 1 euro for the base jack, total 205 euros.

    Dismantling of the 2 hp G12t75 marshall, dismantle all the wiring of origin (even finer than that of HB), installation of V30 Cross, and REWIRING complete with direct solder lugs on the HP and I replaced the plate printed circuit by a female Jack Mono. Silicone on all interior edges. Reassembling everything and hop check with the multimeter: baf 4 ohm! Damn, I had Uygur somewhere! Anyway, I just looked and finally I had forgotten to wire a connection between 2 HP .... So now I'm only 16 ohm mono and everything works perfectly!

    Since then I've played 4 good hours on the cab with my head, TSL100, and frankly the change of HP is super gross!

    FYI, before making the changes, I played a good 2 hours in the same room with the same guitar (LP) and at the same volume, all without effect ...

    It's the same review as all those who made the change: much more precise, more PMUT rights, but especially over the drool, I do not know if it comes from HP or cables but I feel have grown in power distribution ... ok, is more "showy" as before but lowering the treble knob and then manages it, HP does not yet run-in. I have not the sound of Engl .... but I re-discovered my TSL100! I had to reduce the gain on the Lead channel has so much more than before ... y '

    I will leave a notice after one rehearsal to get a real idea of rendering 1960a amended in the mix.

    I placed the 2 remaining in the cab G12T75 HB and I will use for the home. I tested the sound of the cab with the V30 and HB with the G12:

    V30: very loud (running), good sound in all for the price, lack of body and curves

    G12: very round (too), good sound also lacks precision

    End of the demonstration: V30 + G12 = Excellent Mix for 200 euros and 2 small hours (I had never welded before and frankly super simple).

    Purchased in August, it is plugged into a Mesa Boogie 20/20, itself connected to a Rectifier Recording Preamp.

    Like many, I wanted to base a Mesa cabinet, but much too expensive for me. I wanted to make me even then, still installing the Celestion Vintage 30, my sine qua non.

    And then BAM! separately on the two HP Thomann cost more than the baffle! Better not try to understand ...

    So I bought this cabinet and refignolé tightness and wiring (really very small capacity) (see forum). The result: a sound GREAT!

    Deep bass, warm, well-defined treble (to the Dream Theater, it's required), I do not regret that choice, it's a great alternative to expensive speakers Mesa (I'm not saying that …

    Is cheap .... but ...

    So, yes, the price of the cabinet is the price of only 2 HP .... therefore, can not complain about that side!

    Live ... by testing quickly and without direct comparison ... it is misleading.

    In fact it is the speaker of a friend that we wanted to use in the studio making sounds ... we've taken the time to study the cattle in good condition

    So I plugged the baffle my LP and my tube amp and I wondered if there was not a problem !!!??? == Not very nice sound! (Lack of bass, while screaming ... etc. ...). I was looking for my Randall 2x12 cabinet with V30 also: another world! This is not a high-end speaker.

    I'm not talking a small difference .... I'm talking about a huge sound difference…

    I'm not talking a small difference .... I'm talking about a huge sound difference ... eh! the same kind of sensation when passing a copy of LP at 100 euros a real LP ... or when passing a Vamp in a tube amp.

    Anyway ... to begin, it appears that available .... but you start to invest in a guitar and an amp correct, I find it a shame to ruin a speaker of this type.

    Like what, wood crates, it's cheap but it's better to light the fire!

    Rock'n Roll!
