Part of the reason I asked was due to the comments about the G12M's being tight. Those speakers are notoriously known for NOT being real tight, so to speak. They tend to have a looser low end (like many of the "vintage" Celestions). Which is why I was trying to understand how your cabs may be playing a factor in what you are hearing. If I'm not mistaken, Windsen has also stated the SB25's are the tightest of the Emi/Splawn bunch so far, so it's bizzarre that you find the SB25's looser than G12M's. I am a bit perplexed, something doesn't appear to be adding up here, but it may be some unidentified factor or terminology confusion, etc. Sonic I have never played through an avatar 4x12 so I don't know how much that is playing into the sound. From my greenback experience and they are probably my favorite speaker, I would not have described the greenback as snappinnecks has described the sound. I wonder if the speakers not being broken in is adding to his description. Snappinnecks I would love to hear your opinions after that speakers are broken in more. Thanks for the review. ;D |

I forgot to mention that I am making my impressions of the greenies playing a PRS singlecut with a Tremonti Treble pickup (probably the hottest or one of the hottest pups out right now). Going into the Nitro and out the Avatar with greenies. So my impression of the greenies is going to vary a bit from someone using say a BBQ or other smoother pup. I like the term truth speakers because they are truly neutral. Neutral is a really good thing when using Splawns. I have read some reviews on them where people hate them. I love the woody tight thump they have. It's hard to describe the bass response of these speakers except for they have to be pushed really hard to fart out. I like to run the eq on the Nitro all at noon except for the bass rolled back a bit. At this setting the greenies have that good doctored up tone you would hear on a recording in a studio. No piercing highs or boomy lows. A really tight smooth gain.

Update on the greenies. After breaking them in a bit I have been able to crank them. They sound really good until you get to 8-9 O'clock on the volume. They start to break up a bit more than I would like getting up to giging volumes. I did a speaker comparison on another post of all the speakers I have tried so far.
