Members DTrane Posted June 14, 2011 Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 Saw a set on CL for $200 for 4. Are these speakers any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pioneerprogress Posted June 14, 2011 Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 That price is not good. I think it's pretty much new price. As speakers, they are meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DTrane Posted June 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 what are people using these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pioneerprogress Posted June 14, 2011 Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 what are people using these days? That varies quite widely. Let's talk what kind of music YOU play, what amp you use, and what kind of tone you're after.We could talk which speaker is more popular than the next all day long, but it wouldn't get us any closer to what you ultimately want.

Members ruppert240 Posted June 14, 2011 Members Share Posted June 14, 2011 they're passable in a 4x12. often used in open-back combos and sound like toad farts. they remind me of a cheaper sounding gt75. a bit of scoop and fizz. thin in the bass.

Thats exactly what I found. They dont sound completely BAD but if you A/B them with anything else you will ditch them quick. I hate V30's and would take one of those over a 70/80 if that tells you anything LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DTrane Posted June 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 I like metal/rock. Lots of distortion and want to experiement with dropped tuning and eventually baritone guitar. Yeah, I have an Avatar cab with V30's. ok not great. I kinda prefer my Peavey 5150 cab with sheffield speakers. It might be the that the 5150 cab is deeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eyebanez333 Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 They aren't great IMO. Especially for that price. The one I had was better than the stock speaker it was bought to replace, but that's not saying much. And, I only paid $20 for it used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 they should be about $20-30 a pop. mine was very weak in a 1x12 open back. It farted out and got mushy, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AXEL276 Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 They are the stock speaker in the Tech21 Trademark 60. I've spoken to the techs a couple of times there about replacing the 70/80 and they discouraged it. They say the speaker is very transparent and works well with the voicing of their amp. I will say that I have NEVER heard the speaker "fart out" in my TM60/PE60. I can crank the hell out of the TM60 and the speaker stays true. It may not work well with other amps but it does the job with the TM60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Welladjusted Posted June 15, 2011 Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 My Traynor YCV40 had one. It's not the best speaker out there, but it wasn't terrible and it got the job done without making the amp really suffer. You could probably find something like a Jensen or a cheaper Weber for about the same price, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
