CELESTION G12M-65 Creamback 16 Ohm Guitar Speaker, 12"

I use two of them 16 Ohms in an open back Marshall kind of cabinet and works great with a Friedman Little Sister because this is the speaker shipped with the same Combo.. This is one of the reference spearers used by Marshall and Friedman, that's why I got those. The 8 Ohms is also the best I have herd in a Fender Blues Junior...Period

Part 1 of 2 replacement speakers in a Marshall 2x12 cabinet. The other is a Vintage 30. Great warm sound that's not muddy when combined together.

I love the power handling and tone of this speaker. When I got the original shipment, they sent me a G12M-25 8-ohm Greenback, which is not what I ordered. Once notified they shipped the correct speaker immediately (which was fine). Hey, mistakes happen. The only thing is now I have to use my time to ship the wrong one back to Amazon. A small issue, but inconvenient.

These are great replacement speakers for the Marshall 2x12 cabinet. They give a much smoother sound on the low end and not so harsh on the upper frequencies.

Awesome sound. Makes my plexi slice through the mix like a hot knife through butter. Ya they’re pricey but you get what you pay for. I have them loaded in the top of my 1960 cab. The bottoms are vintage 30’s. Big difference. The high end “sizzles”. These sound awesome, the biggest problem is you probably won’t be able to go to a music store to hear them. They’re worth the big bucks! Rock on!

A few years ago, I was searching for a "smooth" guitar sound. I had been using budget combo amps for several years (Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III; Peavey Classic 30) and was unsatisfied with the harsh tone I was getting. I figured a big part of the problem was in the cheap speakers that most manufacturers slap into their combo amps. Eventually, I decided to buy an amp head so I could easily pair it with a speaker of my choosing. Around this time, the Creamback was gaining popularity, and several reviewers talked about how "smooth" it was. I listened to many demos of the Creamback, and agreed that it was the "smoothest" speaker I'd ever heard. I bought one and put it into a Jet City 1x12 cabinet to pair with a couple of low-wattage heads I was using (JCA 22H, Blackstar HT 20). When paired with the HT 20, my first impression was that I'd finally found the tone I needed. The sound was dark and inoffensive with no trace of the fizzy shrillness that I hated in my combo amps. However, when I captured that smooth sound in my project studio, I discovered that it couldn't stand up to other instruments in a mix. Where the harsh fuzzy combo amps had punched fiercely through the densest mixes, the Creamback/HT 20 rig politely stepped into the background. At first I thought it was the Blackstar causing the lack of cut (as an amp, it's smooth to the point of muddiness), but the Creamback yielded the same disappointing results with other amps, including the Friedman Smallbox and Kemper Profiler that I purchased much later. My current cabinet of choice is a Hughes and Kettner TM 112 loaded with a Celestion Vintage 30; and no matter what amp I use, the Vintage 30 always works for me. Moral: "smooth" guitar tones actually come across in a mix as lifeless, muddy husks with no character. Recommendation: skip the Creamback unless you have a brutally harsh amp that needs balance.

NO better speaker for guitar amplifier.

Great sounding speaker.

Classic speaker with the classic sound paired with my Marshall JTM, can't go wrong with this one.

be careful for some reason it is non returnable because its listed as a hazardous good. I was very disappointed about that. almost $300 and Im stuck with it
