I wanted to change my HP 1960A, used Marshall heads with different ending for last 25 years, HPs origins taient ok but not forcment suited my style today. So I wanted to try but since the V30 Celestion factory in China and has become more expensive (even when a peak), I wanted to find an alternative. Eminence offers a range of HP large trs and that it visibly silent closest to the V30, hence the choice.

Trs wide, wide trs, trs dynamic. Beautiful low neat, clear of mediums and treble too aggressive (unless the true V30). Straighter than the greenback, quite suited to contemporary music, prcis difficult to rate since this type of thing is extremely subjective, but when I would take a new 4 / 12, I would take for a vintage comparison. In my case, I replace the two remaining HPs in 1960 with two more governors. Please note, G12t75 of origin are far from being ridiculous! But they lack a bit of bass and are a bit "sharp" for my use. They will be better to music such as blues, rock a little scabby or punk for example. But for the 70's hard rock, hard rock and metal and 80's today, the governor is more suited.

Hp excellent for me ... I would do so this choice that I ordered two more this morning complter the quartet ... Meanwhile take a second 4 / 12 vintage (I am Fidler marshall for 25 years, and it's not changing prs)
