That's a handsome cab!

I'd have just thought these to be high power handling G12H30s, but apparently not. An old Avatar description says:

"The Celestion Factory had excess inventory of these fantastic G12H80 12 inch 80 watt Guitar Speakers so we bought them all. They were made in England and are 8 ohm. They have a great tight bass, tons of mids with real glassy highs. The closest speaker in the Celestion line to this G12H80 for comparison would be the Classic Lead 80 except that the Classic Lead has a hair more bass while the G12H80 Special has a tad more highs. The G12H80 plays up to 5500 Hz instead of the Classic Leads 5000 Hz response. This great sounding G12H80 has a very neutral response over the entire guitar sound spectrum. They don't have lots of early cone break up like a Greenback or G12H30 Anniversary Special, but they do produce a real nice subtle crunch when you drive them hard. Great for all types of music especially those with high gain demands. Large Heavy (H) 50 oz. magnet. Black powder coated basket. While they last."

Made in England Cellies – nice! Not so nice is maybe that they sound close to CL80s, which lots of folks don't like, and that they were $42 a pop. Seems awfully cheap for a MIE Celestion, but who knows. Let us know how they sound.
