Has anyone had first hand experience with these speakers?

Yes, I have 4 in a cab. They are dark/mellow sounding, but not dull and are probably best mated with bright amp like a JTM45. Since the are real vintage speakers I don't use them live.

For my Dumble clones, I prefer Celestion 12G65. They are a little more round sounding.

thanks, bluesfendermanblues. I have an opportunity to pick up 4 of these for $ 300 in a no name cab. I am about to build a Trainwreck Express from Rj, which is a bright sounding amp. Pre Rola G12m's are the most reccomended speaker for this amp

At that price, you could likely triple or even quadruple your investment! :shock: And that would be without even selling the no name cabinet. On the other hand, you will not likely find them for that kind of price again. :wink:

You should make sure that they are not re-cones! With that said, at that price, I'd likely grab them anyways, if all properly functional!
