Members guitarbilly74 Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 Holy {censored} they sound GREAT. My rig is sounding 1000x better with these speakers. Low end is tight as hell, the mids are just right and they have enough presence and cut without sounding harsh. Definitely one of the best speakers I have ever tried for high gain! Raf did a good job with the packing too, although I don't know where the {censored} he got this lime green bubble wrap, {censored} looked like it came straight out of the Boogie Nights film set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members benjamin801 Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 For those of us needing some background: what speakers did these replace, in what kind of cab, and with what head(s)? Was it you who was trying out the Texas Heats x 4 a little while ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members madrigal77 Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 Aren't the K85's and K100's the same speaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it you who was trying out the Texas Heats x 4 a little while ago? Yes I tried the Texas Heats and did not like them at all. Too dull. This cab had Celestion T100's which are actually decent but a bit too scooped to my taste (they're voiced close to the T75's). Changing to K-85s brought the mid-range back and I can use a much broader range of my amp's EQ now. They also seem to be a bit more efficient but that could be because of the restored mid-range. I am using a Laney GH100L with a matching cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 Billy, didn't you have a Butcher cab before? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. No, never. Maybe you thinking of Raf, he had one and these speakers actually came out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madrigal77 Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 yes No, never. Maybe you thinking of Raf, he had one and these speakers actually came out of it. Nice. I LOVED K100's with my 5150 Blockletter when I tried it. I really want to hear what they would sound like with my 5150 III, but it just sounds so godly with the Greenbacks that I don't want to mess with a good thing.

Members Rey Gato Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 yes No, never. Maybe you thinking of Raf, he had one and these speakers actually came out of it. Was he not overly impressed with it? I know, my memory sucks. I'm not surprised you like them man, they are my favorite speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ovid9 Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 Was he not overly impressed with it? I know, my memory sucks. I'm not surprised you like them man, they are my favorite speaker. Long story short Raf is insane and lazy. He's opting for a mako 1x12 since he's no longer in a band and I think he was going to do it even if he was still in a band. I think. Edit: He also has a pregnant gf/fiancee/wife (one of those) and needs $$$ I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 100 watt Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 85's are great. I just traded one though. If it were 8ohm, I woulda kept it. I had a mix of K85's & G12H100's that sounded pretty tough in a Marshall MF280B. I like 85's with about anything. My Broe has that cab now & uses it with a ProCo Rat pushed '72-ish Orange GRO 50. A huge sounding amp as is.. the 85 & h100 mix with it is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dolf Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 Dude, the speakers you WERE using are like....seventy80 level of awful. Of course these are kicking their ass all over the interwebs. These are GREAT speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aibric Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 I could never get along with the G12T100's I used to have, anything was a step up. That is just a very scooped, harsh sounding speaker. I'd love to try a k85 or k100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dolf Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 the k85 is identical to the k100, literally the exact same in every way (except sticker) So yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tommy Horrible Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yup, K85s rule. Especially if you open them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tommy Horrible Posted July 11, 2012 Members Share Posted July 11, 2012 Like, with pliers? I personally do the Keith Richards mod to all my speakers as soon as I get them by stabbing holes in them with pliers. You think your tones heavy? Try stabbing a hole in your speaker, that {censored} will be Brootzzz supreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
