I use these in a 4x12 and a 2x12 with a mix of Celestion Creamback 75 speakers. They're super clear and tight with a large low end, but they don't get muddy or woofy. I've had the red cap pop off once; apparently this is a known issue but I pressed it back on and hasn't fallen off since. These are great speakers for metal and tight palm mutes. I've played several amps through them (KSR, Framus, Mesa Boogie, etc) and they all sound great.

It’s like a greenback on steroids can handle 150 watts the problem is it can handle 150 watts I’m mostly just playing at home and I can’t crank the amplifier up to get the edge of break up sound I’m playing through a Fender blues deluxe and it’s very clean all the way up to 12 louder than hell but clean, a trick I’ve found is turning my amp up all the way and controlling the volume on my guitar you can get a nice edge of breakup sound that way! I love the speaker but if I was doing over I would have bought a Neo-Creamback or just a cream back

I bought a Boss WAZA Tube Amp Expander (attenuator) for my Fender Deluxe Reverb '65 Reissue. What I didn't realize was that when I use the WAZA, my Deluxe Reverb is no longer a 22 Watt amp, it becomes a 100 Watt amp. After finding that out, I decided that I wanted to get a speaker that is rated for 100 watts (or more). I heard this speaker is a lot like a Greenback, but with more mids, and I thought that this speaker would be a perfect fit. I realize that many Deluxe Reverb players may not like this speaker for their amp, but I find this speaker to be perfect for me, since I like to make my DR pretty dirty. My Deluxe Reverb has a really nice "growl" to it when I get the volume knob up to about 6, and that growl is a lot meaner with this speaker, and I absolutely love it.

I put this speaker in my orange 1x12 cabinet. It had a celestial vintage 30 in it originally. But that wasn't enough to handle my PV invective 120 head. It sounds and works great. This speaker's a definitely a good idea it can handle any 100 watt head easy without risk. Works great for metal and clean stuff.

When a 4x12 cabinet is too big and you need something smaller for your Marshall head, this speaker fits the bill. Purchased this with a good speaker cabinet and it handles anything the amp can throw at it, with clean sounds and no distortion. Love the 150w max power in case I need it. Well built and has great weight! This is the first time I "built" my own cabinet and I'm glad I did. Both speaker and cabinet was as much as some small amps but the sound is much better!

Best sounding speaker for the type of music I play (metal). Haven’t even tried it clean yet. This speaker is an absolute monster. I’m using a 1x12 peavy cabinet with this installed and only a orange micro dark amp (20w) but it is so loud. I couldn’t imagine a 4x12 loaded with these.

I like this speaker. I wanted something that will handle all of my Marshall 100 watt head so I could leave my 4x12 at home most of the time. It fills that need. It's light weight in a small 1x12 cabinet. I have both the 8 ohm and 16 ohm versions. The 16 is a bit brighter so I prefer the 8 ohm unit. To me, it sounds more like a Greenback. Having both gives me a lot of flexibility. I can use them with both 16 and 8 ohm amplifiers. I can also parallel them to get 5.33 ohms. That allows me to use a transistorized amp that's rated for 4 ohms for maximum power.
