For me there is a cardboard sound to the mids in the K100.
Your clip obviously sounds good but not as open as your usual clips.

I think it's cool because it's certainly a different tone.
I'm not sure I dig the hollow mids and the slight hint of fizz, to be honest, but I guess you could build a cool mix around it. I do think it would make for a good more old-school Thrash-y tone! Either that, or some sort of early Meshuggah tone if you tuned a bit lower.

Sounds good to my ears @RaceU4her 
Had my head banging. Thick and meaty like @Forty6and2 was saying.
What was that bell like synth I heard on the beat?

The redback is one speaker I don’t have, I’m not a fan of the greenback though so I guess I’ve kind of avoided just cause of the “back” in the name lol
I agree, in fact this is kind of how I envisioned the G12 vintage sounding like, kind of a blend of G12-65's and v30s, the vintage has a weird hole in the eq for me though
i agree, i think "grindy" might be a better term than sizzle, i dont think its overly bright
that might just be the gain structure of the speaker, didnt really do anything much different from normal. all my clips are pretty raw though as im not using any samples or editing anything so its basically just a live song

The redback does't sound much like a Greenback to me and also has an H magnet even though it doesn't sound like it to me vs Greenback's M's. I think you'd probably like the Redbacks. They sound thick, dark and very chewy, but I find they can be get bloated or tubby with low mid heavy amps like your Recto. They'd be great with your Hermansson, Monomyth and IIC+, at least they are with my Hermansson Recto and IIC+
The K100's don't sound like V30's or 65's to me. 65's IME are more like a higher wattage Greenback, more midrange-y. I find the K100 to be more scooped than both with heavier lows. I remember liking the K85's a bit more as sort of like a vintage counter part to K100's, but didn't keep my K85 still
Yeah probably grind is a better word. You haven't really heard what sizzle is until you hear a JBL D120F, D123, Roger Charles/Cletron or Altec 417C. That's what real high end sizzle is lol and glassy cleans

What Amp? What Cab? What mic? What place?
I've been playing my MF400B since 2004. I tried different Cabs and Speakers. But they are all gone. It's the same kind of Love/Hate relation i have with the 2203.

K100s are K85s with a different power rating. But, the same speaker. The K85s were measured conservatively at 85w; in the 90s Celestion changed the rating to 100w. But, still the same speaker. Those old Peavey cabs with 85s are a 400w cab.
The 80s versions may sound a little different since we know Celestion changed cone types and didn't advertise it..but the K100 is just an 85 with a different label.

Just scored the MF400B cab circa 2004 is how I read the label. I usually only drink halfway to the label but can't wait to run this one. This cab is stout like the beer I drink!!

I know, but the 85’s sounded better to me, like a vintage, more raw sounding counterpart to my 100’s

its my monomyth marshall origin and a unidyne 57 right on the center, its in my old randall cab with 3 other different speakers i use just to record. i kind of have a love/hate relationship with every speaker i have which must be at least 12 of them. its growing on me though

Laptop. I will try with my good headphones tomorrow. Sounded like an artifact at the top of each beat/click
Sounded killer overall

Move it a little to the outside, 'til the outer left side of the Mic is right in line with the seam. Still plenty of high end without the "glassy" top-end "harshness".

OK, so it is a cymbal (more like a gong) and not on the beat but every 12 measures.
Sounds fine with headphones.
Didn't mean to alarm you
I thought 57's were supposed to be off center?
Again - sounds great mate
