Unfortunately, at low volumes, they can be a little ice-pick'ish

and i love them, they are the best celestions for me, and i also like g12k100

The old k85's are great too. I have two old Peavey cabs loaded up with them. They mix well with V30's.

Maybe I've just had good luck, but I have a Friedman 412, Bogner 412 and Diezel 412, all loaded with Chinese celestions, and those are my 3 favorite cabs. They all have a big, full and warm sound in comparison to my 2 mesa slant/overhangs, and my 3 old peavey cabs that also have the k85's in them.
Maybe it is more cab dependent than anything.

Which T-75's though? I would agree if they are Chinese.
