Seven Speaker Shootout

[mindseye]

A D G for me......Thanks for taking the time to do this!!!

 

[singtall]

listened again with some consumer headphones (ATH-M45's) and my choice is now:

D, E, F which is crazy cause i didn't like those at all with my pc speakers.

listening again with my studio headphones (ATH-M50's) i get a different representation. my choices then change to:

G for most cut through the mix. then E, D for most mainstream sounding.

i can't wait to hear which speaker is which.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

A, D, E for me!

 

[DADA]

E, A, D for me

Good sounds BTW!

 

[Ventura]

Was there a TwoNotes involved in this blind taste test

 

[jsp]

E, then F, then almost a tie between A and D.

 

[JerEvil]

A, D and E are the ones I liked the most

 

[lolzgreg]

Was there a TwoNotes involved in this blind taste test

No sir. I did all of these with different cabinets

 

[skoora]

I liked E and F the best. Didn't like any of the others enough to give a 3rd place.

 

[chrisrocksusa]

at least let us know what the speakers in the mix are

 

[JCDenton6]

A, D, and E for me

 

[Ventura]

[Robotechnology]

AND FOR THE RESULTS:

A. Celestion Chinese V30
B. Sheffield 1200
C. Fane Medusa 150C
D. Celestion Mesa V30
E. Celestion EVH Greenback
F. Celestion Reissue Greenback
G. Celestion K100

E, then F, then almost a tie between A and D.

So I picked out the two Greenbacks, and then the V30's.


Interesting.

 

[blackie13]

can you post the cabs also?

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Whhhhat???? I picked V30's! then the EVH. Might be time for me to pick up a V30.

 

[Dragoneti]

Can you also post the amp eq settings? i suppose it was common for all speakers?

I liked better F, G, D and A (to my suprise as a have six of v30 chinese and not so much fan of them in person with my JVM, more a greenback guy)

 

[lolzgreg]

Amp settings were OD2 Orange: Gain 10 O'clock, Bass 1 O'clock, Middle 10 O'clock, Treble 10:45 O'clock, Level 3 O'clock, Resonance 2:45 O'clock, Presence 4 O'clock, Master 11 O'clock

The Reissue Greenbacks and EVH Greenbacks were in the exact same model Splawn straight cabinet; you are hearing nothing but the different color of the speakers

The Mesa V30 and Chinese V30 were in a Recto Cab side by side

The Sheffield 1200 was in a Peavey 5150 Cabinet.

The K100 was in a Marshall Mode Four Cabinet.

The Fane Mesdusa 150C was in a homemade ported 1x12 that I use for all my single speaker shootouts.

All of the cabinets were straight, because slant cabinets suck

The JVM IMHO is an all around awesome sounding amp. I have done entire records with it with V30, K100, and Greenback loaded cabinets. That's why I picked the JVM for the test as it really sounds great with any cabinet and speaker.

Wow! Check out my guesses from earlier this week. I was going to post it here but didn't for fear that I would be way off. Guess I should trust my ears from now on. To be fair, I knew most of the speakers you owned from checking out your website as well as which ones the Greenbacks weren't from your response to Danyeo. The Sheffields sounded like shit.
