THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Originally posted by MattACaster There is nothing different about them. Mesa just rates them at 70 watts (sometimes) for some reason. My Recto 2x12 is rated at 140 watts but my Recto 4x12 is 240 watts. Go figure.... They are different. They are modified to handle high power and put out a little more low end. Just ask the Mesa techs.

Originally posted by Sordid1 I have to disagree on this one. First of all the Marshalls come with the gt1275's and the Legacy cabs have the V30's which are identical to the Mesa cabs speakers. If you put a traditional Mesa cab next to a Carvin Legacy cab the differences should be slim to none. Having AB'ed both of them I can tell you first hand that they are worlds apart. Despite both having V30's they sounds quite different. I found the Mesa alot thicker with a larger and deeper bottom end. The Legacy was much thinner and brighter. Also it should be noted that the V30's in Mesa cabs are different then regular Celestion V30's.

There's a Carvin Legacy cab at my rehearsal space. It is quite a bright cab. I find it alot like a Marshall 1960A cab but with a slightly larger low end. I don't know what they sell for but I wasn't too impressed with the cabs overall. They don't hold a candle to Mesa cabs.

Originally posted by Sordid1 Celestions are kind of known for their ice pick effect directly in front of them but they sound good everywhere else. You can get some weber beam blockers that fix that or you can put some duct tape on the inside of your grill infront of the speaker cones and your problem should go away. When I had a Marshall 1960 w75's that's what I did and it sounded way better. I don't think its a Celestion thing as much as it is simply physics.

the g12t75 sounded alot fuzzier on the rhythm guitar. But had a nicer high end. Combine the two and I think it will make for a great tone. The CL80 sounded alot nicer with the rhythm guitar
