Seven Speaker Shootout

[lolzgreg]

Hey everyone,

As promised, here is the second shootout in a series of tone tests to enlighten you Rig-Talk fellows

This one will be unbiased. I'm not telling you which speaker is which, but I will allow you to choose your top three so...

A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are all different speakers. Every single part of the gear chain was absolutely identical aside from the speaker.

The amp used was a Marshall JVM 410H and the microphone was a Shure SM57; this is standard gear everyone has, so I figure it will be a good comparison.

Pick your top three

I will reveal the results in a week

...and here is the shootout: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/156 ... ootout.zip

 

[shadowdevourer]

I like A, E and F.

 

[dainbramage0]

C, F and G for me.

Interested to see how this turns out. Great idea Greg!

 

[lolzgreg]

This one is going to be interesting

 

[thiswaythatway]

I wonder if B and G are Greenbacks?

 

[glassjaw7]

Chinese Greenbacks sound best to me.

 

[lolzgreg]

I wonder if B and G are Greenbacks?

Neither

 

[crankyrayhanky]

I liked ADE, but A so much more I only voted A
Very curious to know where my money is going next week, lol

 

[TheSneakyTruth]

I voted A,C and F. Which just coincide to be the most highly voted thus far. Should be interesting to see what they were. I have a feeling we're in for a bit of a shock.

 

[blackie13]

C,D,E,F for me...
I think F is the heritage greenback...
sounds a bit "turned down"...
B might be the g12t75
G I would say K100(pretty similar to B but louder)
D would be a Greenback reissue

Damm nice shootout!!!
Damm crappy PC speakers!!!!

Cool job, thanks a lot!

A/G/F for me - one week waittime is cruel

 

[hellaboogie]

A,D,E,

 

[Ventura]

Awesome set up and post man, thanks for taking the time to run this out...

Here's my thoughts:
A: balanced, sat nice in the mix, flat EQ'd
B: missing something in front
C: fizzy but decent, no cut
D: nice, sits well, cuts
E: scooped in a weird way and loose?
F: fizzy and hollow
G: decent

A, D, G were my preferences. For all different reasons.

 

[Ventura]

I hope there are some Creambacks in here...

 

[crankyrayhanky]

Funny if there's a Radio Shack entry

 

[lolzgreg]

There are two oddballs in the bunch, but the rest are somewhat normal. People's top two votes are also my top two I guess tone ain't that subjective after all

 

[singtall]

i liked A best, but maybe cause i heard it first. i also liked G. i would pass on the rest of them.

D,E,F sounded almost the same on my speakers. didn't love any of them, but they were ok.

 

[flimz]

I liked A, E, G.
I cant wait for the results....and I REALLY need to start experimenting with speakers!

 

[rupe]

A, D, & G for me

 

[D-Rock]

A, E, F for me...
