Old G12T-75's.........wasn't expecting this !

[JonVengeance]

So are their actual verifiable differences with the older ones versus the newer ones?

I have liked the few G12T-75 speakers that I have had, provided I used a Marshall through them. The mesa mark IVA I have does not get along well with G12T-75's.....

I think the differences between old versus new can mostly be attributed to the old GT12-75s being well broken in. A well broken in speaker just sounds much better.

Not sure if it makes a difference but the older ones were made in England. I've got 4 with a made on date of GW2=July 2 1988. They are great when matched up with V30's

I don't know, I had those old ones in my Marshall 1960 cab that I bought new in 1985. They were beyond broken in. I thought they were pretty flubby sounding with piercing highs. Every amp I ran through those I had to turn the highs and presence way down. I replaced them with a mix Splawn small blocks and Eminence Governers. Don't miss them a bit.

Thats what they used in the silver anniversary 4x12s and they sound KILLER.
