This is a well-documented phenomenon and the primary reason Green amps sound better than other ones.

You capitalized Green, which is a brand.
That's not what we're talking about here, though.
I could guarantee that the speakers in the 1936V cab are labeled wrong. They have all the characteristics of the G12T-75s that make me want to use cabs carrying them as kindling.

Nah, breaking in a speaker doesn't wildly change its character.

I thought it was going to be about one cab that was re-Tolexed and sounded different afterward.
Why not brown Tolex for that classic famous Variac tone?

Yes, but my Green Matamps also sound better than my Orange Matamps. Explain THAT, "Mister" ScienTIST.

Re: Same speakers, same cabinet, different tolex...different sound
Really? Are these specs on the Marshall site? For that relatively low wattage I doubt it makes that kind of difference.
Good call!

I bet the wire inside your pickups is orange. Good match for a green amp.
For an orange amp you need pickups with green wire like these Sentells...

Re: Same speakers, same cabinet, different tolex...different sound
Just listened with decent ear buds in. The sound isn't all that much different between cabinets when listening with only the right ear bud. The big difference is only heard in the left channel. I'm just plugging into my old Creative Labs volume control's headphone jack. No high end stuff and it's old so maybe it's my audio. But, going off of that, my vote is for recording shenanigans.

Circuits, baby. Circuits.

Ehh they're the same circuits too, except my Green is 120w and the Orange is 80w, and the Green has more gain on tap. This is obviously a function of the color of the tolex.
