Originally posted by SKYNETRP The 2 inches will make a little difference, but not the front loaded part. Plus you have to remember that front loaded speakers give you a little more internal room inside the cab adding a tiny bit of tonal difference as well. It's only about 1/2 inch per speaker, but it's still there, and since I have 32 speakers, it will made a decent difference for me.. Yes, the front loaded to rear loaded speakers do make a difference. Taller oversized cabs sound different as well.

Originally posted by SKYNETRP So I did. The English ones were warmer and richer sounding to me, and reminded me of the Marshall cabs from long ago. But the Chinese V30's were very strong and sturdy sounding, with a little less bass response and the mids were less defined to me, and the highs were a little crisp to me too. All in all, I liked BOTH speakers, and I would have to decide which were for me in the long run. These were both new cabs or was one used? Sounds to me like one cab had been played and the speakers had been broken in. Also which brand or cabs are we talking about here and were they both (oversized) straight or slant? All this makes a good bit of diference in tone of the speaker. I believe the only cab that comes with UK made Vintage 30's is the Mesa/Boogie.

Originally posted by SKYNETRP I told ya that the English V30 sounded different than the Chinese ones, but I am going to call Cellestian to confirm the other mod you are talking about. I don't see them making a mod like that for one company, but I will wait and hear it from the horses mouth first. I hate to be wrong because I didn't do the research! Actually I don't believe there are sound differences between the Chinese and UK made Celestion speakers. I don't know where you heard this from? Here's some threads from the horses mouth (look for Celestion101). I just searched for a couple. http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1161759 http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1157769 http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1092545

Originally posted by Locky They are different. They are modified to handle high power and put out a little more low end. Just ask the Mesa techs. Your right. Call Mesa/Boogie up. Mesa has there Vintage 30's built in England, this is right from Celestion. Plus they Mod them as well just like you said. They also mod there MC90 speaker.
