the real 65's do NOT like amplifiers voiced for mids at all until you are at serious band volumes - louder than what would be exceptable in most band applications IMHO
I disagree. I have two 4x12's loaded with original 65's and they sound great with everything...Camerons, Boogies, Marshalls. All but 2 of my video clips have at least one 65's cab. You are the first person to say that they don't like them.

That's what is good about having different choices.
i dont like them with mid-heavy amplifiers. a 5150 + 65's = a muddy nonsense. unless you have EQ and effects all over the place to help with masking, cabinet + amplifier with nothing else it was a fighting mid-fest to my ears. amplifier trying for low's and speakers voiced for mid's.
i had orginal 1983-1986 G12-65's, 4 in a cabinet. i do know that when i sold the speakers someone on the forum suggested that there were two different cones to the 65's, a bass cone and a treble cone, and thought i had the bass cone. however the cabinet was a lead series cabinet - all original.
overthemountain owns it now.
i have no idea why people are arguing with me over this calling it non-sense. if you have played celestion G12-65's you would know about the mid's and the high roll off. i have not mixed these speakers at all, but by themselves i didnt like them.
i do like the character that they have and the high roll off, but not the mid voicing with mid-heavy amplifiers. marshall's are not mid-heavy amplifiers. 5150's are mid heavy amplifiers. SLO's are mid heavy amplifiers. to me they were not voiced with 65's in mind.
