No one ever talks about this one, almost seems like no one has ever tried them.

I've been using them for about three years now. Every time I come back to them I'm impressed again.

Nice throaty grind. Loves volume.

If I had to describe them I'd say its the "uber" speaker, makes me think of a v30 and gt75 mixed.

Good prices made in Italy not china, try these RT!

Sounds awesome. Can you make some clips? Or do you know of any? I would like to check them out.

Unfortunately this demo doesn't showcase higher gain sounds which is where it truly shines but does actually give a good idea of its tonality in the clean samples.

Also added link to Jensen site above which has samples also.


Here's another vid second to last post

I have wanted to try these speakers since they came out. I have heard that they are a bit bright, and my 5150 III is already a bit of a bright amp. Threads like this remind me about how much I want to try them, and they are cheap. MF also has them at a reasonable price.

I have always liked the build quality of Jensen speakers. The frame seems a lot more solid than Celestions, and just the fit and finish is great. I had a Neo12-100, and some of the Earcandy greenmachines (made by Jensen).

How do these do at lower volumes?
 
I actually decided to bite the bullet, and order one. Only down side is that since I am in Canada I had to order a few other tings from MF to get my free shipping.

Looking forward to your review. :)
 
I should have it tomorrow, and I will be comparing it to my sugarcone, and scumback. I also ordered a dimarzio crunch lab so I might swap that into my main guitar after I try the different speakers.
 
Just got an update that my speaker is waiting for me to get home...I predict my ears will be ringing tonight!!!!
 
%#&$@$%^*^&$%@#^^&*## My speaker arrived damaged.....Now I have to wait again for a replacement from Musician's friend. On this order of four small items MF screwed up on two.
 
Boo! At least mf will sort it out without hassles....
 
It will be about another two weeks until I get my speaker. They won't send the replacement until they get this one back. This is going t be a long two weeks.
 
So I got the replacement yesterday. I still have to deal with MF on the additional duty that I had to pay on the replacement, but I will get that sorted out.

I put it in my Mesa cab with the custom 3/4 closed back panel, and I didn't have a lot of time to play with it yet, but I will be cranking it tonight. So far damn this speaker sounds great for everything I have thrown at it. It is definitely clear, and defined, and has a unique sound to it.
 
I am really digging this speaker. I don't get the comparisons that some people make to a Vintage 30. This speaker has its own thing going on, and it is awesome!!! It really seems to match with the 5150 III mini.
 
I'm glad I could turn someone else onto them, I love mine , keepers.
