Eminence Governor vs Celestion V30 and G12T75

[fab.regnaut]

Right now I have a Marshall cab with G12T75 and appreciate the flutey sound for lead ( witch comes with good bass and treebles and roll off mids ) , but for heavy and speed rythm it lack a bit of crunch ( lack of mids) .
I tried the V30 and don't like it cery much cause very middy , is the Eminence Governor is the same one trick pony like V30 or is it more versatile ?

The governor is supposed to be like a v30, but I have heard the highs are a bit smoother on them. I would look into others speakers if you don't like the mids on those.

governors are basically v30's without the high mid spike, but they are still very middy

you could always try running like an X pattern of governors & g12t75's

an X pattern is a good idea but G12T75 have 97dB sensitivity compare to 102dB for Governors , they'll be much louder .
I don't understand that people say Governors are less spicky than V30 ; on EQ curve Governors seams to have more in all register from lows to treebles !
Could somebody give a test of Governors vs V30 ?

This sounds like a speaker voiced like the G12-65 is what you want.

If you like scooped tone (and nothing else) stay with G12T75's..

im not sure those the sensitivity ratings are really comparable. i have a red fang which at 103 dB should be way louder than a greenback at 97 dB. its louder but not as much as the difference would seem to indicate. the v30 is rated at 100 db which i bet the gov would be too using celestions methods

If this is what you're looking for try the Emi Tonespotter. Great speaker.

I got a govoner think very very british tone. Pretty crunchy (with the right amp), tight bass, smooth highs and mids are very present.

The Celestion Classic Lead seamed to me like a good compromise between Vintage 30 and G12T75 so I just ordered 4 for the bargain price of 314 Euros = 400 USD
one thing is worrying me tho : are they made in CHINA ? :yell:
