Warm, detailed midrange enhanced guitar speaker with smooth overdrive and distortion tones. This is a superb tone and sound recreation of the 60’Äôs G12M 20w Kraft paper voice coil era "Greenback" that was used in Marshall stacks, BluesBreaker combos, and many other British amps of the pre 1971 era such as Vox, Orange, Sound City, etc. They have a very pleasing upper midrange voice that cuts through the mix without being harsh. This speaker's tone is woodier, with more upper mids than the M75, but less treble and more bass than the BlackBack BM75 model, so it's tone sits between those two models. 24 hour Factory Break In (FBI) is now included on all speakers sold.
The 20w speakers are built to the original 1967 Kraft paper voice coil (PVC) specs. If sent too much power, they can spark or catch on fire. Due to this possibility, they are sold without any warranty, liability or guarantee. Once you mount them, they are non-returnable, period, no exceptions. It is strongly recommended you buy four of these for a 50w amp, and eight for a 100w amp. While I have never had one spark or catch on fire since 2011, there is the potential it could happen.
The 65w PVC speakers are built with higher temperature nomex voice coils and have a 1 year warranty. There is hardly any tonal difference between the 20w Kraft and 65w Nomex voice coil speaker tones, but some clients feel the 20w models have a tiny bit more bass response.
The 65w speakers do not spark or catch on fire.
