Of those 3 the G12C GBs in the VM cabs are the closest to the 2 Vintage 70s Marshall cabs I own now. They are the best modern GB out there IMO.eternal_idol":2e8r2e5u said:heritage g12m and EVH g12m are identical, only difference is aesthetics. (http://celestion.com/product/28/g12_evh/) "both" made in UK
that being said there are slight differences that some can hear from speaker to speaker within the product but on a whole with a heri/m and a evh/m made on the same day with the same amount of play time will sound damn near identical aside from those minor variations within the product stack
From what I can tell from my experience. the VM speakers (also used in some limited jimi cabs iirc) the g12c25? its like a standard greenback that got the "V30" custom treatment. meaning it was another Marshall/celetion colab like Marshall's version of the V30. I'm not sure exactly what was "modded" from a green back, the magnet structure looks a touch bigger to my memory (but that could have been just the cover), and the paper cone might a slight variation.
out of the three i would expect the G12c25 to sound the most on its own, not in a good or a bad way, but the other two are the same speaker and the G12C is a variation of a different flavor of the same thing.
Any of those options are nice speakers, and are great with a Marshall type amp. The G12 C are modeled after a specific vintage GB that Marshall has in it's museum I believe. You can get them from Marshall but are 200 plus per.
Are the G12C the speakers in those Hendrix cabs?

appears to be.
Came in to ask about the G12C's too. I picked up an empty EVH 412 cab and loaded it up with G12C's. I remember liking it with my evh stealth head but I got rid of that amp and haven't had a chance to try my new amp yet. Now that finals are over I'm going to take an afternoon off and try that fucker out.

I hear ya brother; my last ever final is Tuesday Glad I went back but never again; I'm done! I'm stoked to get back to the real world; academia sucks.
