Celestion Creamback 75 - 4x12 cab

[esandes]

I have the Marshall 1960AX English greenback 4x12" and a custom Marshall 1960AHWV with the Marshall/Celestion English Vintage speakers. Both at 16 ohm mono.

I like them both and apparently the creamback 75 is the love child of both speakers. So I thought, screw my back, I want to hear this speaker in its full glory. BTW, is this love child Chinese-born? Just wondering.

I plan on getting a cheap 1960 and swapping the speakers and upgrading the wire gauge. Or do the custom cab makers do it cheaper?

Not Chinese. The Creambacks are all made in England, AFAIK.

The H75 is it's own entity. Its not some sort of v30 hybrid. Its a high power version of an original H30 using more modern materials to handle the increased wattage. It sounds completely different than V30 or M series speaker. It has much bigger lows and clearer midrange than either M series or V30. The H75 is a bit darker and less dynamic than it's H30 counterparts until you get the volume up to ear bleeding levels. I would recommend the Heritage H30s in either lead or bass cone versions for a 4x12 unless you play stadiums.

The V30 is Celestion' attempt to clone an Alnico speaker using a ceramic magnet.

Creamback, as mentioned are UK made.
