G12M-25 Versions?

Watch the ACDC vid on my channel if you want to hear the G12m-20’s. T1511 55 hz with 014 cones. Best GB’s I ever had till they finally died. Would love to find a modern equivalent. Tight full bass, clear and smooth top. Downside were they did not throw the sound very far. Had to be more careful where I stood to hear them.

6402’s were in the 90’ Wizard cabs. Pretty fat sounding, decent bass and not scooped sounding like newer ones.
 
I’m a fan of the 53H1777 cones from the early 2000’s. Apparently same cone as 6402 but a little easier to get ahold of. As others have said, not as bright and harsh high end compared to the Chinese greenbacks I’ve had. I like them so much that I imported an 04’ Marshall BX cab from England that has the 53H1777 cones.

In the context of a tight aggressive metal tone, I’d go after some Chinese greenbacks.

@Racerxrated how come the G12C say they come from some other place not Ipswich England?


What is Bletchley England?

Semantics. Both are Marshall corporate locations I believe.

Regarding Vintage speakers, it's just like vintage amps. In my experience with this thing we do with gear, vintage versions always have something 'more' than the modern equivalents. 'They don't make em like they used to' is a thing.
Doesn't mean it's better for everyone; but they are different.
 
I bet if you grabbed a handful of any single variation of these speakers and compared them, they'd all sound different.
