Mules in Gibson Les Paul r9 clip1

[ledzettervall]

The stiffness you describe is from the speaker not being broken in yet, the cone does not yet give its full range or load. Rather a tedious process and i prefer just to get my speakers from used amps/cabs so i can hear how they sound immediately. The 30's i have do definately sound a bit more sterile or better said less organic then the 20's but not as much as the modern 25's. On the other hand i think all new speakers sound more sterile then the ones i have which have been played for so long, some greenbacks i have are even played for 4 decades!

Also a little tip on the greenbacks, if you see an old grey or TV size green London city cab and its not far away i would definately check it out, often they are dirt cheap and they were build originally in the late 60's untill the early 80's and were loaded with greenbacks . Youll need to make sure the greenbacks were not replaced offcourse......

I forgot to mention in this post that I've been using the g12h heritage before so it's definately broken in! I've been playing it for at least a couple of months so I guess it has at least 100 hours playtime. I just think it doesn't match my 18 watt very well, I also don't max my amp but play it on about half volume so it may not get to work enough. The g12m sounds much better in this particular amp, not saying that the g12h is bad - it might even sound better than a g12m in another 18watt.

Allright, just thought your discription was quite like a new speaker, i must say it doesnt fit the way i would discribe my 30's though they do sound less organic and are considerably louder/more middy IMO.

Anyway, i wouldnt change that amp either if i had such a sound coming out
