The M75 is a tonal recreation of the 66-73 G12M Greenback, aka the "pre rola" era.

Jim,
I just received a quad of your 75m 25w, 16ohn cones through Metro and would like to break them in a bit more with a variac. Can you clarify the safest way to do this (the neighbors be damned). :)

Email me, and I'll send you the break in method for use with a variac (fastest). If you don't have a variac, then you're hooking up your IPOD through your amp or stereo to the cabinet and letting it blast away at 25w (minimum) for...gulp...about two days in a row (continuously), or 50 hours total if you have to do it in steps.

Someone you know heard them recently, though, and thought they sounded so good he ordered a quad from me. So thanks for letting him play/try your rig...even if they aren't broken in fully yet. :D
