Wow!

After about 3-4 hours clocked with guitar so far, I left my DRRI with the new Alnico Gold on soak for 8 hours today with pink noise after a similar bashing yesterday = around 20 hours in total so far.

I downloaded a 10-min. pink noise mp3, set Winamp on repeat and left it to cook while I went to work - the result today = absolutely awesome sound with deep lows creamy rich highs and punchy mids.

It is a COMPLETELY changed sound - I can't get over how different it is.

It chimes, it oozes and sounds about as good as I could imagine it ever getting. Acid test will be a live outing to a gig on Friday, but with a few more days to go, it can only mature further.

This proves to me that you cannot use these speakers (or any speaker, save pre-aged?) out-of-the-box and expect them to sound as you'd like.

If you play rock, blues or similar with your DRRI, go get a Celestion Gold - you'll love it!

FBB.

PS - here is pic of the rig I use.

True. They have a higher "Q" before they are broken in. Before this happens, the damping is too strong.
