Technically I haven't gotten rid of them, but these speakers have been sitting in the closet collecting dust.
Celestion 70/80: Not necessarily a bad speaker and I can see why so many companies use it in their low-mid tier cabs. It's mostly neutral where it would work with many amps, plus the Celestion name. But with that it's also very generic sounding with no character whatsoever. It works in a pinch but there's so much more that's better out there.
WGS Retro 30, ET65 & ET90: WGS speakers in general can be summed up as they fall apart a band volumes. If you're only going to be playing at lower volumes they do sound really good. But once you start pushing them hard at the volumes you need to get over a loud drummer, they start to lose definition an crap out.
Celestion G12T-75: Another one that isn't really a bad speaker, but I just don't get along with it. People that hate on it claim lack of mids. I don't think it lacks mids. To me highs and lows are more accentuated that t gives the impression of a mid scoop. But like I said I don't get along with them and I think that this is the reason why.
Marshall MG Series: I don't like to say something is complete crap and just think that it's more personal preference, but I don't hesitate to call these speakers complete crap. They're pretty much a complete waste of materials. Like the other, they're sitting in the closet. I'd rather throw them in a dumpster than attempt to sell them to some unsuspecting person looking for a replacement.
Mojotone Greyhound: I'm actually still using them and they work well enough, but I wouldn't feel bad trading them in for something better. They're actually not bad. Unlike the 70/80's they do have some character and unlike WGS they hold up at louder volumes. They can also work well across a wide range of amps/styles. It's just that there's better speakers out there than these. The Greyhounds would be a much better speaker to use in low-mid tier cabs than Celestion 70/80's. If I bought cab with them I wouldn't be running to replace them ASAP, but would eventually want to trade up.
