Marshall cab, Marshall vintage speakers???

Re: Marshall cab, Marshall vintage speakers???

They are 70 watters, but not V30's, even though they look like V30's.

If you put them next to V30's you can see the difference. They were standard issue in the late 80's in some Marshal Combo's. I have one in each of my 4203's.

They are a bit brighter than V30's. Great match for a Emi Governor in a 2x12.

They also can be seen in the 90's JTM series.

I also have examples of the Marshall Vintage and the Celestion versions. I also find the Marshall Vintage version a little brighter. However, other than the color of the frame and the sticker they look virtually identical to me. They both use the 444 cones, and the H magnets. What else I can see looks the same. They are are very close, but they do not sound identical. They seem like two sub-versions of the same basic speaker.

I set out to find out about this speaker and spent quite some time on it LPB.

It does look close when you have them side-by-side, but when I measured it, the dimensions were a bit different.

I asked in some forums, and on the Marshall Law forum one of the guys told me it was a 70 watter, and was in the 1997 Marshall catalog.

I did find these things online at the Marshall site.

I sometimes jokingly call them a V35.

The speaker also works great paired with a V30.

Re: Marshall cab, Marshall vintage speakers???

It sounds bloody great.
It is very different tonally to the avatar 2x12 with v30/g12h30.

Overall, alot more definition and warmth.
Doesn't get flabby as easy as the avatar did, can handle killswitch/metallica tones with ease (very bass heavy metal distortion).
I love the sound I get with my spina sd-1 and the channel 2 on vintage, very warm. Its what I've been looking for.
