The Celestion F12M-150 is the Cleanist Guitar Speaker I've ever heard!

I took a Seismic Audio 2-speaker cabinet and dropped in 2-Celestion F12M-150 Triple Cone 12" speakers. Wired with 12 AWG. twisted-pair wire, I drove it with the Laney Ironheart IRT-SLS head. I put it through it's paces using a Fender triple-S Player Strat. This combination buries a Fender Twin Reverb! It's more than twice as loud as a Marshall double-stack, but it sounds cleaner than a Fender! Engaging Clean and Reverb settings it brings back the surfer sounds of the 60's, only with a lot more power! Engaging the boost and cranking the gain creates the Psychodelic and Acid Rock sounds. If you're playing in a retro band, this pairing will allow you to play ANY size venue! I've still got more testing to go. Troubleshooting: 1. Inspect speaker cone. 2. Inspect speaker cabinet. 3. Use 12 AWG.Twisted-pair wire.(paired, straight wires act as an antenna, allows radio frequency interference) 4. Silver solder your connections.(loose wires create crackle and pop) Make sure you wire speakers in parallel.(two 8 ohm speakers create a 4 ohm load, too little resistance can damage both the speakers and amplifier; too much resistance lowers the amplifier output) Speaker sensitivity: 95dB/watt/meter. Recommended Maximum Power: 150 watts RMS.(the two speakers will handle 300 watts RMS.)

Great

Swapped out vintage 30's in a 2x12 for these and just what I was hoping for. Helix cabs and 3rd party Ir's sounds great. Just enough full range amp in the room without the fizz of separate tweeter of typical frfr.

What an improvement!!

For over 20 years I have been using a Fender CyberTwin (CT), which is essentially a stereo (2 x 65W) modeling amp with 35 pre-defined "classic" amps plus 84 custom shop presets. All parameters can be modified by the user and stored in separate memory banks.
I never liked the shrill sound of the two 12" 100 Watt Celestion G12T "Hot 100" speakers that Fender, for reasons unknown, had decided to be „just right" for the CT.
When I was still playing in a band, I bypassed the speaker problem and ran the two pre-amp outputs of the CT into a Mackie M-1400i amp which drove two 500W very linear PA speakers. It sounded fantastic, however, for home use that's a bit excessive…
A look at Celestion's published frequency response curve for the G12T speaker revealed that there is first a -7dB downslope between 900Hz and 1.3kHz which is immediately followed by an upslope to reach +12dB at 2.3kHz!! Well, that explained it!!
This speaker behavior gave every selected preset its own speaker-driven character and, imo, destroyed many of Fender's actually very well defined presets.
So I have been looking for a far more linear replacement speaker… and, just by chance, I ran into the Celestion "F12M-150 Triple Cone" while I was browsing Sweetwater's website. I decided to order two, even though the few reviews were not very positive.
This speaker has the typical 12" cone plus one each voice coil-mounted high midrange and a whizzer cone. The speaker-swap (same manufacturer and same form factor) inside the CT took only 15 minutes.
Result: Excellent realistic sound from pretty much all presets!! This did not surprise me much because with the exception of a few ripples around 2kHz, the frequency response curve of the F12M-150 is very linear from 60Hz to 12kHz.
My takeaway is that SPEAKER LINEARITY is exactly what modeling amps need. Speakers with a strong "character" are actually detremental for most of the models. They just have to be transparent and "honest" sound transducers.

Works well with my Spark

I have a Positive Gride spark amp that I use to gig with. I have the headphone output running thru a magnum 44 to a 12" open back cab. I had another speaker in the cab and it sounded good but I thought I would try this Celstion. It does a real good job of recreating the cab and amp models, staying very close to the "natural" output of the spark. Quite pleased so far.

Mehhhhh…did I say Mehhhhh? Yeah. Mehhhhh.

Aesthetically it looks impressive. It looks as if it can/will deliver under the utmost demands but unfortunately it doesn't deliver at all. I ordered 1 for a 1x12 which was ok for room playing, then I thought let's bump it up to a 2x12 configuration so I ordered thinking we could crank this puppy when the storm is over, nope. The 2x12 configuration doesn't sound great nor good cranked. It looses the tightness, sounds garbled and seems bass heavy even though I reduced the bass frequency drastically. Sadly after all that it just sounds muddy. Ohh, I failed to mention I'm running a Zoom G6 thru a Rocktron Velocity 150 power amp. At a lower decent room level it sounds great but once I start pushing it up near practice levels & beyond it goes unfavorably in delivery. The breakup is muddy despite trying to configure a decent loud frequency for practice levels, it's fatiguing and frustrating trying to find the sweet spot. Mind you, I bought these speakers to utilize and possibly enhance the IRs preloaded and personalized for my tastes. $ wasted. It's a wonder I see the 200 watt version being sold on CL listings. Lastly, it's ok for home use/bedroom stardom but if you think these will tow the mark in a live setting or practice, it won't. If you like the quick breakup blues tone of a speaker, these might suit you fine but if your looking to crank it up for any metal or pm rock this fails in that department. Personally I don't like this product but then again for the sake of the IRs I bit a bullet that's bitter on my end.
