I posted this on an other forum, and I think you guys would probably know best. I just swapped out all the speakers in my cab. I had celestion relic 30's in it, and now it has wgs green berets, and splawn small blocks in an x-pattern. I am playing a 2204 and a splawn quick rod through this cab. Any of you guys find the green beret a little too in your face or snarly? I am trying to like them but i cant get rid of that harshness. Will the speaker mellow out as I play it? I replaced the green berets with a pair of relic 30's and the in your faceness was gone. i got these used but they were only a couple of weeks old. Do the Green Beret's need more break in time, because all other clips i hear of them they sound great, but mine were very snarly. I have them loaded in a jtm 45 copy cab. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

All GB voiced speakers have a predominate midrange peak ... often described as "throaty", "raspy", "raw", or ... my favorite: "urgent".
Probably will change a little over time ... but will retain that signature GB tone ... it's not for everybody, but for some, it's the holy grail!
OK, I purchased a quad of 16 ohm Green Berets. I installed them in a 1960 cab wired series parallel as vintage cabs were wired. They are very bright. No lows, extended highs.
This is in comparison to a Celestion Greenback loaded cab which is much richer and full, bass and mids predominant. Amp is a 74 JMP 50w.
I also have a pair of GB's 8 0hm wired in series for 16ohm in a 2x12. That speaker is much bassier than the Celestion Greenbacks and are night and day difference between the 16om quad I purchased new.
Im stumped at the difference between the Green Berets I have. Two totally different sounds. 16ohm bright and 8ohm dark. Neither Clone the Celestion but are on both ends of the spectrum.
I have plenty of play time on the 16ohm quad. Will these ever darken up like the 8 ohm pair?
