Re: g12c and g12m
No offense taken my friend. Everybody has different rigs, hands, ears, etc. At the end of the day they are a custom speaker for Marshall based on what they wanted. Had we done it for retail maybe it would have been different, maybe not. They're buying loads of them so somebody likes them!

Then I was able to start turning the treble and presence slowly up.. new gig - new (brighter) amp settings.. after like 10 or 15, 20 gigs (I don't use the cab at home at all) with my super lead disciplining them, they sounded noticeably different - less bright, looser, smoother, bassier.
The same thing happened with my friend's korg vox loaded with stock celestion blues. He couldn't use his bsm treble booster at first...
After the G12Cs have broken in they are a gorgeous sounding speaker. Not harsh at all.
I play an EJ strat through a 18 watt Marshall clone (Superlight TMB) - I've recently mixed my two G12Cs with two G12H-75hz blackbacks from 1977 in a flat front quad box and it sounds magnificent.
