Scumback Speakers":37nycos4 said:blackba":37nycos4 said:Its a shame that Rick left TGP over this very issue. I don't blame Rick for what Celestion is doing, but I think Celestion either didn't think the consumer would care where the speaker was made, or knowly tried to be vague about where it was made to avoid the MIC stigma. This is the first time I have seen a speaker with 'Made in China' on the white label, so maybe they are finally coming around to being open. They did finally address the cone issue on the Vox labeled MIC alnico blues, they are finally using the same cone as a MIE Alnico blue.
Rick answered that question a bunch of times, but there's a member over there (you probably know which from that thread) who just feels it's his duty to bust the sales reps balls over the corporate decisions made before Rick worked for them. After Rick left he started in on me. I sure don't get it.
As of a few months back, though, the Vox/China made Blues did NOT use the English Blue cone. Vox has a license from Celestion to make the cones for the Chinese/Vox Blue at the China plant themselves. Now maybe that changed recently, but that was what was going on 4-5 months ago. Vox definitely didn't advertise that.
When did you get this new cone info?

I was about to ask the same just for fun
Scumback Speakers":2in3m5w8 said:The Scumback equivalent of the V30? Hah! How can you improve on perfection? No need to recreate that speaker.
blackba":1s4371f6 said:Scumback concentrates on recreating the sound of vintage celestion speakers and despite the name, a Vintage 30 was never a 'vintage' speaker.

Two completely different voice coils because one is 8 and the other is 16. Different gauge of wire and windings.
