just picked up a sc112 cab for my Traynor YGL2 combo and it has a celestion seventy 80 in a closed back cab and I was wondering if anyone else use these speakers.. have heard alot of bad reviews on them

Hi Logieberra,

How about your opinion of the sound?

Don't get to try it till tomorrow :( home alone tomorrow so I can really rip into it and break it in a bit for maybe an hour or so

the combo I'm using it with has a vintage 30 and sounds nice and chimey when clean but has a darker sound with gain pedals so I'm hoping this seventy 80 has some more treble for a more balanced sound

IMO it's an OK speaker....much better than the Rocket 50 (which I view as terrible) and not as good as some of the higher end ($145 price point) Celestions. I don't often subscribe to the thought that you necessarily get what you pay for, but for Celestions I do. To my taste, if you ranked them (Celestions) by price, you'd have a near identical ranking for sound quality.

good point.. I hear some people say the seventy 80 sounds best in a closed back which is what the cab I got is so heres hoping this cab meshes well with my amp and pedals and overall sound.. most likely goanna mic the amps vintage 30 for shows though since it is the better speaker
